2. Cover the front panels with light blue and trim three white panels, creating a wavy edge at the top. Secure to each section, adding a second white section to the longest.
3. Die cut eleven houses from coloured card, adding light pink and white card behind, then secure white ribbon to three of them. Fix to the card, tucking the bottom edges of the houses underneath the white sections. Adhere a die-cut sentiment to the front panel and add green glitter trees to finish.
