Step one

Cut a piece of card 21cm x 15cm. Measure the card 10.5cm on the long edge Score the card and fold in half. This is your main card.

Step two

Cut the gold card 4cm x 8cm and cut the green 3.5cm x 7.5 cm.  Place the green onto the gold card making sure the edges are the same all the way round. Then attach the gold card onto the red with double-sided tape about 2.5cm from the bottom and equal at the sides 1.2cm each side.

Step three

1. Take your 3D decoupage sheet and push out the Angel face resting on her hands picture.

Stick #1 picture onto the red card in the centre with the lace of her sleeves just resting on the green card then attach with silicone glue.

Build up the picture following the numbers with either foam pads or small dots of silicone glue. If using the glue remember not to press down hard or you will flatten the picture. To give your picture more dimension gently curve the pieces over a pencil before gluing them in place.  Set aside to dry for a short while, when dry you should have something that looks like this.

Step four

Place a greeting in the box. Then scatter around a few gold peel off stars (found on either a star peel off or on the greetings peel offs) and add few snowflakes.

Step five

Place a greeting insert into the card; either from the computer or write you own.

The paper needs to be .5cm smaller than the card, put narrow double-sided tape on each side of the fold and place into card.
