Instructions:

1. For the card: Print and trace the cutting pattern (shown below) onto the blank card. Score on the dashed lines and use the craft knife to cut the straight solid lines.
2. Cut 3½"x3½" gold glitter holographic paper and glue it to the large center panel. Position the die on the gold panel as shown on the pattern and die cut the circle. Crease the two scores in mountain and valley folds as indicated on the pattern. Close the card.
3. For the card front: Cut 4"x3¾" acetate and cover the back with the adhesive glitter sheet, trimming along the edges. Place double-sided tape along the three edges of the opening in the card front, then adhere the acetate to it, aligning the top edge with the card top edges.
4. Trace the front paper pattern (shown below) and cut it from Christmas Sparkle mauve flourishes paper. Cut 6½"x¾" Christmas Sparkle mauve glitter paper and glue it to the flourishes paper, ¼" from the bottom. Glue the paper to the card front.
5. Place gold thin line Dazzles™ around the window front and along the upper and lower edges of the mauve glitter strip, trimming the excess. Place black “Merry Christmas” Dazzles™ in the center of the mauve glitter paper.
6. Place two small gold angel Dazzles™ on the acetate front as shown. Place two small gold ornament Dazzles™ on cardstock, cut along the edges, then foam tape one on each end of the mauve glitter paper.
7. For the inside: Cut 6½"x1" Christmas Sparkle mauve flourishes paper and glue it along the bottom edge. Cut 6½"x2½" gold glitter holographic paper and glue it to the inside, slightly overlapping the upper edge of the flourishes paper.
8. Place three gold thin line Dazzles™ on the inside as shown, trimming the excess. Place the two large gold angel Dazzles™ on cardstock and cut along the edges. Glue both to the holographic paper as shown. To display the card, stand it upright and slip the tea light between the front and back, centered on the die cut opening.
