Adhere Whisper White cardstock front panel to Multipurpose Adhesive sheet only to the area where the Santa image will be cut out.

Cut out "fur" on Santa's hat using Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, Detailed Santa Die and Big Shot. "Fur" will need to be cut out with die placed on glitter side of paper.
Remove all of the Detailed Santa cut out pieces using the Big Shot Die Brush. Leave the glasses that are attached to the Whisper White card panel intact, do not remove them.
Trim Santa's black glasses and face of any unnecessary excess cardstock.
Cut Window Sheet to fit on back of cut out Santa image making sure that no cut edges will be left uncovered with the window sheet.
Remove the adhesive sheet protective covering from the backside of the cut out Santa and adhere window sheet. If you also cut a decorative line beneath the detailed Santa you will want to adhere a small strip of cardstock to this area to bring out the line details. In my sample, I used Real Red cardstock.
Remove adhesive protective backing from Santa's face and Real Red hat and adhere to card front.
Remove adhesive protective backing from Santa's Black Glasses and adhere to card front.
Color the white area above Santa's glasses with Pacific Point Stampin' Write Marker, followed with a touch of Black Stampin' Write Marker in the middle of the "eye" and then highlight with a white gel pen.
Remove the adhesive protective backing from the Silver Foil Stars and place them randomly on the area to the right of Santa's face.
Add a small amount of adhesive using the fine tip glue to the places where the "fur" will go on Santa's hat and adhere the cut-out Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper to these spots.
Stamp holiday greeting on front of card above or below your decorative cut line. On my example, I stamped the greeting in Real Red ink to match the cut line. I used Greetings from Santa, which is retired and no longer available.
Adhere the Real Red panel to the Whisper White card base using adhesive.
Using the brush tip on the Powder Pink Stampin' Write Marker, make a small circle on each cheek. Using the fine tip on the Real Red Stampin' Write Marker color in Santa's lips.
Add Foam Adhesive Strips to the perimeter of the window sheet. Add a few dimensionals to the bottom area below the window sheet.
Sprinkle glitter on to the Real Red panel in the upper middle of the panel, where the detailed Santa will be.
Remove the protective backing from the Foam Strips and the Stampin' Dimensionals and adhere card front panel to Real Red panel.
