Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Tranquil Tide Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Sky Cardstock
- scrap of Soft Sky Cardstock at least 1-1/2" wide
Place Grid Paper on your work surface to protect it from ink as you stamp.
Mount the snowflake sweater image from the Christmas Sweaters Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Tranquil Tide Ink Pad and stamp it randomly on the large Soft Sky rectangle. Continue to stamp the sweater image randomly onto the Soft Sky rectangle remembering to re-ink the stamp each time. Rotate the orientation of the image sometimes and let some of the images stamp off the sides of the cardstock.
Adhere the stamped Soft Sky rectangle to the front of the Tranquil Tide card.
Cut a 16" piece of Gold 1/8" Ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the card along the seam between the left side of the Soft Sky layer and the fold in the Tranquil Tide card. Tie a simple knot in the ribbon near the top of the card. Trim the ends.
Put a small amount of SNAIL in the center of the card vertically between 2" and 2-1/2" from the top of the card.
Adhere a gold Foil Snowflake to the center of the card over the SNAIL.
Place the scrap of Soft Sky Cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image when you stamp.
Mount the "For You" sentiment from the So Many Shells Stamp Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Tranquil Tide Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the scrap of Soft Sky Cardstock.
Unlock the 1" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch. Carefully line up the sentiment so it is centered in the punching area. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment circle to the front of the card over the center of the Foil Snowflake using Stampin' Dimensionals.
