Cut a piece of white cardstock 10” x 7”, score at 5” along the long side and fold to create a 5” x 7” base card.   Cut the borders from the HCD2-7190 Frame a Card Leafy Borders die set in white cardstock and add Frosting Powder using Dries Clear glue.  Adhere to the base card.   Cut a piece of white cardstock 3 ¼” x 5 1.4” and then die cut the centre of the HCD1-7191 Intricate Swirls Frame die set in white cardstock and adhere it to the base.  Adhere this to the card base over the frames with foam tape.  Die cut the Silent Night out of white and pale blue cardstock and offset the blue die under the white die to create a shadow and adhere to the front of the card.

Stamp the poinsettias from the HCPC-3680 Sparkling Poinsettia Stamp set in Ultramarine Blue on the Art Foam Paper and die cut with the coordinating die.  Add blue stamp paint to the edges with a damp sponge and Frosting Powder to the flowers with a damp sponge.  Heat and shape the poinsettias and assemble.  Add blue stamens to the centres of the flowers and adhere around the bottom left of the card.

Stamp the angels from the HCPC-3832 O Holy Night Stamp set in Versamark ink on Vellum and emboss with white emboosing powder.  Die cut with the corresponding die and adhere to the bottom right and the top left of the card nestled among the poinsettias.
