3D Father Christmas Decoupage – brought already made up (from Studio Cards mail order)

Large snowflake Punch

White Ribbon 1 cm wide and dark blue ribbon.5cm wide x 22cm

Step one

Score and fold an A4 piece of card in half. Turn your card round to landscape with the fold at the top.

Cut the piece of blue metallic card 20cm x 14cm; it will be easier not attach to white card yet, measure the snowflake paper 19cm x 13cm width.

Attach to blue card making sure the edges are the same; the easiest way to attach one piece of paper or card to another is to put the double-sided tape on the back of the smaller piece and then peel of a small amount of tape and fold it back do this on each side; place onto the backing card making sure the border is the same all way round, if it needs adjusting it’s easier to move it around because it’s not all stuck down, then when you are happy with the position pull the tabs out.

Step-1b

Step two

Take the white 22cm ribbon and back it with the narrow double sided tape (see picture)

Place it on the snowflake paper over the edge and fasten on the back, do the same with the blue ribbon and place it in the centre of the white ribbon ( the white ribbon can be bigger, your choice) Attach the snowflake and blue card to the white card again making sure there border is the same all the way round.(If you forgot and have already put the white card on just lift the edge of the blue card and tuck the ribbon under)
