Instructions: Card size is 5 x 7”. Score and fold 10 x 7” Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper at 5” on the long side. Cut Luxe Silver Cardstock 4 7/8 x 6 7/8” and adhere to card base. Cut two pieces of blue paper from the Festive Winterscapes Paper Collection 4 3/4 x 6 3/4”, ink the edges with Archival Cobalt Blue ink and adhere one piece to the inside of the card and one piece to the front of the card base.

Trim the right top and bottom score lines off up to the first vertical score line, use scissor to cut tabs. Use the Cut Mat Create Die to cut the aperture in the front of the box. Cut blue paper from the paper collection x2 4 7/8 x 4 7/8”, x4 3/8 x 4 7/8” and ink the edges with cobalt blue. Use the Cut Mat Create 2A die to cut the aperture in one of the 4 7/8 x 4 7/8” pieces for the front of the shadow box. Adhere the papers to the box prior to assembling. Cut one of the scenes from the 6 x 6” card panels from the paper collection and adhere to a piece of silver cardstock and adhere inside the box. Use a paint brush to add dries clear glue to the scene and sprinkle with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter. Finish folding at all score lines and adhere to form the shadow box. Randomly add glitter to the paper on the outside of the box.


Stamp the Christmas tree, the lamppost, the carolers, the dog and the wreath on watercolor paper. Stamp the tree and the wreath with Archival Olive and the carolers, dog and lamppost with Archival Watering Can ink.

Add a little cobalt blue ink to the centers of the poinsettias and holly leaves, diecut and shape using the 3D Christmas Poinsettia Shaping Mold. Press down in the centers of the flowers using the stylus and adhere two flowers together making sure to offset them. Add glue to the centers of the flowers and add Blue Gala Glitz.


Using the largest Ticket and Tags Die, cut two tags from silver cardstock. Using the next size die, cut paper from the collection, ink the edges and adhere to silver tag.
