Instructions:

 

Paint wooden embellishment with the Cadence paint, leave to dry.

Score the white card 10.5 mm along the long side and fold in half burnishing fold with bone folder.

For card front, fold one piece of red card in half and cut to a matt of 10.5x15 mm. Use one.

Apply C4U Double sided tape 100mmx20m the back of all papers but not the acetate.

Cut 1 Frosty Border die and 3 Dangling Ornament dies in white sparkle paper, trim where necessary. Remove release paper placing Frosty border on card front and press in place. Place Ornament dies on card front and die cut. Adhere acetate at the back of these die cuts. Remove release paper on white glitter ornaments and carefully ‘fit’ shapes onto acetate backgrounds.

Turn red mat to back. Create ‘cells’ for shaker pieces by sectioning each ornament using foam double sided tape. Add the same tape to the 4 outside edges.

Using baby talc, corn flour or an embossing buddy tool rub over acetate to reduce the static cling for shaker pieces. Fill each bauble area with beads/sequins/metallic confetti in either different colours or the same colour. Carefully remove release paper from foam tape and press card front to rear of sequin filled red mat.

On the front using liquid glue, add ‘Merry Christmas’ embellishments to lower edge of red matt.

Adhere card front to card body using double sided tape.
