Fix to the card using 3D foam pads, then add a pink glitter sentiment.

Adhere to the card using 3D foam pads. Die cut ‘Noel’ from green and layer onto white, then fix to the greeting.

  3. Yellow Merry Christmas Card - Create a small green triangular blank. Die cut a large star from yellow and a slightly smaller star from white, then adhere together. Die cut a geometric star from yellow glitter card and layer on top. Add to the greeting using 3D foam pads and attach a red die-cut sentiment.

  4. Multi-colour Star Card - Make a purple blank and add pink and red panels down the centre. Die cut a large star from white and add a geometric star on top. Die cut the geometric star again from coloured glitter card and inlay the negative die-cuts inside. Secure to the card using 3D foam pads. Add a white sentiment.
