Pg. 1

Step 2:

Score and fold the

long piece of

cardstock at 2 and

4 inches.

Step 3:

Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock at

3 ¾ x 3 ¾ inches.

Cut a piece of patterned paper at

3 ½ x 3 ½ inches.

Cut a piece of patterned paper at

1 x 3 ½ inches.

Layer the pieces as shown in the

picture.

Step 4:

Adhere your layered pieces onto the

4 x 4 inch piece of Ruby Red

This becomes the front of your card.

Step 5:

Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock at 2 x 2 ¼

inches.

Stamp the Dasher image onto it with

Basic Brown ink.

Step 6:

Cut a piece of Ruby Red cardstock at 2 ¼ x 2 ½

inches.

Adhere the Dasher image on top.

Step 7:

Apply pop-dots to the back of the Dasher

image.

Pg. 4

Step 8:

Adhere the Dasher image to the front of your

card.

You can add glitter to the image if you’d like

to embellish it a bit. I added glitter to the

antlers for a little bit of sparkle.

Step 9:

On the long piece of Ruby Red

cardstock, find the center point

of the large un-scored panel.

You can do this by measuring

up 2 inches from the bottom

and 2 inches in from the side

and then meeting where the

two measurement lines would

intersect. You can draw light

lines with a pencil and then

erase them later if you’d like.

Step 10:

Use a thumb tack to poke a hole in the

center point of the cardstock.

Step 11:

Secure a silver mini brad through the hole.

Step 12:

Stamp a greeting (I used one

from the Four the Holidays

set) along the edge of the

cardstock, underneath the

brad, with Basic Brown ink.

Step 13:

Stamp some snowflakes (I

used the cluster snowflake

image from the Serene

Snowflakes set) around the

greeting with Basic Brown

ink.

Step 14:

Fold down the first scored

section of the Ruby Red

cardstock and apply

adhesive to it.

Step 15:

Adhere the front of the

card to the folded part of

the Ruby Red cardstock.

Make sure the card

front’s bottom edge is

flush with the edge of

the folded Ruby Red

cardstock.

You’ll be able to fold the card down so that it is

4 x 4 inches and easily fits into a standard

quarter-fold envelope.
