This festive Christmas card can be made with the pieces in your LMC Issue 36 kit.
Patterned Paper

Glitter Glue

If you've run out of the printed papers in your kit then don't worry, there's plenty of beautiful designs on the market for you to jazz up the other elements and make the kit stretch even further. We've used some gorgeous new prints to complement the existing pack and we think you'll agree the results are stunning. Alternatively, use any festively themed papers hiding in your stash.

Noel Easel

1. With a purple blank in a landscape position, trim the width to 10.5cm. Score a horizontal line across the centre of the front panel. Cut 2cm from the width of the back panel and stick a 2.5cm strip of green card along this edge, allowing the greeting to stand. Trim a narrow piece of purple flocked paper and fix to the centre of the green panel, as shown.

2. Add a 'Noel' tag and two bauble die-cuts using double-sided tape. Secure another bauble and two bells using 3-D foam pads. To complete, pull gold-edged organza ribbon through the top of the tag and embellish the die-cuts with sequins and gems.
