Instructions:

Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 7 1/2″ x 11”, score at 5 1/2” and fold. Die cut a shaped card using the No. 1 die from the HCD2-7349 Palace Gateway die with the top of the die slightly over the fold to create the hinge. Score halfway across the front of the shaped card to create the easel. 

Front of Easel Card: Cut a scene out of the pattern paper using the No. 1 die from the HCD2-7349 Palace Gateway die. 

Stamp two images with the side facing truck from the HCPC-3961 Home for the Holidays Cling Stamp Set in Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock. Colour with Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies – one complete scene and one with the truck and deer only. Add glittery snow effects using Dries White glue and Crystal Ultrafine glitter to the base image. When dry add the truck to the image with foam tape and the deer to the base image. Colour some small clear sparkles with alcohol markers and adhere to the lights on the truck. Colour medium size clear sparkles with yellow alcohol ink and adhere over the car lights.  Adhere this to the scenic paper.

Die cut a frame out of light blue pattern paper using the No. 1 die from the HCD2-7349 Palace Gateway die. Die cut two decorative frames – one out of silver cardstock and one out of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using the No. 2 and No. 3 dies from the HCD2-7349 Palace Gateway die set. Adhere the silver frame over the white frame and trim the gate to open and then adhere to the front of the light blue pattern paper. Cut the inner aperture out using a craft knife.  Adhere this frame to the base frame using foam tape and then adhere the whole to the bottom half of the top of the base easel card.

Stamp the smaller poinsettia images from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Mulberry ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the centres with Sunflower ink and the petals with Vermillion ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Colour the backs of the flowers with Vermillion ink and shape with the coordinating molds. Assemble using two petals of each size and insert yellow bead stamens through the centres. I have used 7 stamens for the larger flowers and 5 stamens for the smaller flowers. To finish the flowers, add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium. Add a large flower to the top left of the front of the card and a small flower to the bottom right as shown.

Stamp the small poinsettia spray from the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the leaves with Leaf Green and Olive inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Colour the back of the leaves with Leaf Green ink and shape using the coordinating mold. Add Crystal Clear glitter to the leaves with clear gloss gel medium. Add the sprays to each side of the large and small poinsettias as shown.

To make the berries, stamp the smaller poinsettia images from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Mulberry ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.
