Instructions

Make a white card blank to measure 5″ x 6.25″ (slightly different size to normal as the embossing folder is American)

Use the die included with the embossing folder and cut out one of the glitter sheets; overlay the frame onto your embossed panel

Use the festive joy die to cut shapes and words to embellish the card; we’ve also used wooden shapes, candi and buttons..
