Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Garden Green Cardstock
- 2-3/8" x 3-3/4" from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-5/8" of large dark green filigree stars and scattered small dark green stars on lighter green background design from Dashing Away Designer Series Paper
- scrap of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock at least 2-1/4" wide
- scrap of Whisper White Cardstock at least 2-1/4" wide
- 3 pieces of 1-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
Insert the Garden Green rectangle into the SparkleTextured Impressions Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the dry embossed Garden Green rectangle to the front of the Cherry Cobbler card.
Adhere the piece of Dashing Away Designer Paper to the Cherry Cobbler rectangle. Then, adhere the matted designer paper to the left side of the card front.
Mount the "some Christmas cheer..." sentiment from the Takeout Treats Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad. Stamp it on the scrap of Whisper White Cardstock.
Unlock the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it positioned in the left side of the punching area. Punch.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Slide the scrap of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock into the punch. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment circle to the Cherry Cobbler circle.
Adhere the matted circle sentiment to the card front about 5/8" in from the top and 1-3/4" in from the left side.
Mount the star image from the Takeout Treats Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on one of the squares of white cardstock. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it on the remaining two squares of white cardstock. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Pick out the star framelit from the Wood Crate Framelits. Place one of the stamped star images on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the star framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped star image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other two stamped star images.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional on the back of two of the star cut outs to adhere them to the card front so they overlap the lower right side of the matted sentiment circles and each other just a bit.
Adhere the remaining star cut out to the card front using SNAIL so it is tucked under the previous two star cut outs a bit.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to put a small dot of glue in the center of each of the star cut outs.
Use the sticky putty end of the Take Your Pick tool to pick up three tiny iridescent sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment and adhere them to the dots of glue.
Tip: Pull straight up to remove the cap on the end of the Take Your Pick tool putty end. If the putty is no longer tacky, snip it off the end of the tool and give the base of the putty dispenser a twist to dispense more putty.
