Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Real Red Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x -5-1/4" of woodgrain design from Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 4" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 4" from Real Red Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Crushed Curry Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to the front of the Real Red card.
Mount the "Follow Your Dreams" sentiment from the Follow Your Dreams Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp it in the center of the strip of Real Red Cardstock.
Pick out the open label framelit from the Petals & More Thinlits. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the open label framelit on top so the sentiment is pushed to the left side of the label. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment label to the top, right side of the card front so it is about 3/8" from the top of the Wood Textures layer and about 1/2" from the right edge of the Wood Textures layer.
Pick out the star framelit from the Wood Crate Framelits. Place the Crushed Curry square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the star framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Place the star cut out on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Use the Paper-Piercing Tool to poke a hole in the center of the star.
Pick out a copper brad from the Metallic Brads. Insert it in the hole poked in the center of the star. Flip the star over and fold the prongs flat. Make sure the prongs don't stick out past the edges of the star.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the star with the brad attached to the right side of the sentiment label on the card front.
Unlock the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. Slide one edge of the piece of black cardstock into the punch and punch once. Slide the cardstock over a bit and punch again. Repeat until you have punched out four sets of bulbs/footprints.
WITHOUT adhering, lay the punched out footprints on the card front to get the spacing and positioning you want.
When happy with the spacing and positioning of the footprints, carefully adhere one piece at a time in place. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the heel pieces and SNAIL to adhere the main pieces.
