• Cover the front and inside of the card blank with Mirri card.
• Cut the Wrapping Presents Accent-Foiled Adorable Scorable in two; add the section with the ladies wrapping presents to the inside of the card, trimming it to leave a narrow Mirri border all round.
• Trim the remaining section to fit on the front, putting the single-snowflake border at the top.
• Cut a 3.75cm piece of the Sumptuous Snowflakes card, gluing it to the bottom of the card's face.
• Carefully fold along the score lines on the Festive Delight luxury foiled toppers so that they are slightly angled.
• Use four layers of foam pads to fix the centre of the topper in place but only two layers to hold the angled side sections, gluing the outer part directly to the card.
• Score and fold the A4 Adorable Scorable cardstock to make a three-panel zigzag card and cover each panel with the Engraved Mirri card.
• Cut the Winter Snowfall Adorable Scorable cardstock into three sections that are each slightly narrower than the card panels. Put the main image on the third panel and the others on the first and second panels as shown.
• Press out the couples topper and stick it in position on the front panel. Frame this with the jade arch, using foam pads to lift it higher than the topper. Finish the front with a sentiment tag.
• Pop an arch sentiment on the second panel and run a chain peel-off down from the top edge of the panel to the top of the arch.
• Cover inside and front flaps of the A5 centre-fold card blank with Mirri card.
• Cut a 14cm-wide piece of Our Christmas printed Adorable Scorable and place on inside of the card. Cut the remaining paper to fit on the flaps as shown.
• Mount the Our Christmas luxury foiled topper onto the right-hand flap so that it overlaps the other flap. Use some of the foiled border from the topper sheet along the bottom end of the flaps, adding a button sentiment.
