Instructions: 

Cut a piece of white cardstock 12” x 7 3/4″, score at 6” along the long side and fold to create a base card of 6” x 7 3/4″ card. Cut a piece of pale cream and green striped paper 5 7/8” x 7 5/8” and adhere to the front of the card using a piece of 7 1/2″ x 5 3/4” heavy cardboard. Die cut the outer plain edge die from the HCD2-7309 Elaborate Oval Frames Die set out of dark green patterned paper. Adhere to the card front with a piece of heavy cardboard die cut with the outer plain edge die. Die cut the outer decorative die from white cardstock using the outer decorative die from the HCD2-7309 Elaborate Oval Frames Die set. Add Frosting Powder to the decorative edge with Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge and adhere to the front of the green frame. Die cut the outer decorative oval from the HCD1-7305 Ornate Ovals Die set out of white cardstock, add Frosting Powder to the decorative edge with Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge. Adhere to the front of the previously cut decorative die. Die cut the eyelet oval using the eyelet oval die from the HCD217156 Eyelet Oval & Basics– Small set out of white cardstock. Add Frosting Powder to the eyelet edge with Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge. Adhere to the centre of the decorative dies with a piece of heavy cardstock.

Stamp two snowy pine images from the HCPC-3918 Snowy Pines Cling Stamp Set on Iris cardstock with Black Onyx ink. Colour with Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers and die cut one image using the outer die and one using the birds and branches die only. Adhere the birds and branches to the other image using foam squares and Dries Clear glue. Add Ultrafine Crystal glitter to the background by dotting Dries Clear glue over the background. Add glittery snow to the branches using Dries White glue and sprinkling Ultrafine Crystal glitter over it. Add Ultrafine Crystal glitter using Dries Clear glue to the pine needles.

Stamp the small rose images from the HCPC-2906 Wild Rose – Small Stamp set in Viridian ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping paper. Colour the centres with Viridian ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Shape using the coordinating mold with the patterned side up to create a cup shape and assemble using two of each size petal. Pierce the centres and add the pearl coloured Rose Hip stamens and the small pearl stamens. Add Frosting Powder to the stamens and flowers using Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge. Trim the wires and threads and adhere to the left side of the card as shown over the leaves.

Stamp the poinsettia images from the HCPC-3881 Christmas Poinsettia & Holly Stamp set in Vermillion ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping paper. Colour the centres with Vermillion ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Assemble with two of the same size and add Frosting Powder using Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge.
