Method

Create an A6 tent fold card blank from Basic Black Cardstock.  Score at 5 7/8” and 2 15/16”.  Fold one as a valley fold and one as a mountain fold.  Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to 4”x 2 ¾”

Cut Highland heather Cardstock as follows:

1 x 4” x 5 ¾”

2 x 4” x 2 13/16”

Cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock to 3 7/8” x 2 5/8”

Cut pieces of the Snowflake Splendour DSP to:

1 x 3 7/8” x 5 5/8”

2 x 3 7/8” x 2 11/16”.

Layer up the DSP to the corresponding Highland Heather Mats and add to the card blank.  The largest piece goes on the inside bottom of the card and the two smaller pieces go on the top inside, either side of the scoreline.

Die-cut the Joy letter – the smallest part on Basic Black (add an adhesive sheet to the back to make it easier to add to the next layer).  The medium layer in Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and the largest layer in Highland Heather cardstock.  Layer up.

Stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink on Balmy Blue Cardstock in basic black and die cut out with the smallest Stitched rectangle, create two more layers in Highland Heather and Basic Black. Layer up with black dimensionals between the layers.

Stamp the greeting in Memento Black Ink on the piece of Balmy Blue cardstock already cut to size at the top left-hand corner, lay the layered Joy on the cardstock and work out where the star stamps will go and stamp them in Memento Black ink.  Layer onto the Basic Black Cardstock piece.

Add the Joy in black dimensionals.

Add the layered sentiment to the bottom half of the card about a quarter of the way up from the bottom to create the stopper.

Add glue to the top quarter of the Basic Black topper and line up behind the layered stopper and glue to the top half of the card, above the scoreline.  The bottom of card topper should line up to the centre score line of the card blank.

Decorate with Blue gems.
