Sweet treat

1. Create a 13.5cm circular blank using the step-bystep opposite, then cover the front with dark brown card. Die cut a 13.5cm circle from white card, trim a wavy line across it and attach to the top of the greeting with 3D foam pads.

2. Cut out holly leaves from green card. Score and fold in half, then open up and add veins with a green marker pen. Punch out red berries and add shine with a white gel pen. Fix to the top using 3D foam pads.

3. Punch out tiny circles of beige, red and silver glitter card. Glue across the brown area and add googly eyes. Snip black curves for a mouth and eyebrows, then attach.

4. Stamp a sentiment in embossing ink on white card and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Trim, matt onto red cardstock and secure under the holly with 3D foam pads. Add a small red bow below.

Hanging bauble

1. Follow the step-by-step opposite to make an 11.5cm circular blank. Die cut a large bauble tag from red and glue to the front. Add shine lines on the right with a white gel pen. Trim a curved panel from silver glitter card, then adhere across the centre.

2. Punch out small stars from green and silver glitter card. Stick across the top. Add googly eyes under the glitter curve, to the right, then draw on a mouth and eyebrows with a black marker pen. Punch out two tiny circles in pink card and fix either side of the mouth.

3. Thread ribbon through the hole in the top of the bauble. Stamp a sentiment on white with embossing ink, then heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Cut out, mount onto green card and attach on the left-hand side with 3D foam pads. Embellish with a small red bow.
