• Cut a piece of K&Co Peppermint Twist Holiday Quilt glitter paper into the desired card size, score and fold.  Mine is 12"x 6.25" when flat. Cut it so that the pattern runs as on the picture.

• From the leftover paper cut a Christmas tree shape. Mat the tree onto a piece of coordinating scrap cardstock - I used the reverse side of Basic Grey Fruitcake Plaid - then cut around the tree leaving a margin all around it. Cut a piece of the Holiday Quilt paper as the tree trunk and stick into position.

• Cut small lengths of Dovecraft Christmas ribbon and stick onto the back of the tree. Glue tree onto card.
• Add a Dovecraft Funky Christmas brad on the top border as shown.
• Cut a piece of Bazzill Bling String of Pearls the same size as your card. Stick the card onto the Bazzill so that the "bling" side is visible inside.
• Add presents Grand Adhesions  and "Believe" chipboard word from the K&Co Peppermint Twist collection.

Quick Guide:

• Cut a sheet of Basic Grey Fruitcake Plaid into size 30cm (12" so the whole length of the sheet) by 17cm. Fold the sheet into three parts so that one side slightly overlaps the other. (main back of card 13.5cm, right side 9cm, left side 7.5cm).

• Draw the lines from either side then cut down the two sides with decorative scissors to create a fancy edge (using pictures as guides). Round of the two top corners with a corner rounder punch.

• Ink all edges of the card with green ink. First run the edges over the pad then lightly brush with the ink to bring it slightly onto the card.

• Cut a piece of green cardstock in a hill shape and stick it onto the inside of the card (I used Basic GRey Paper).  Add K&Co Peppermint Twist Grand Adhesions and Chipboard word "Christmas".

• Decorate with Stickles Icicle Glitter glue (on the hill, the tree and the stars) and leave to dry.

• Cut a strip of the Basic Grey Plaid paper the width of the card and run a gold pen (or ink) along the edges. Add three Dovecraft Gold Medium brads to each end - we want the reverse side of the paper to show. Glue strip onto card.
