To make the card:-

Take one of the A6 Trifold Christmas Red Card Blanks and open it out flat.

Score the first third from the bottom left hand corner to the top right hand corner, and also on the last third from the bottom left hand corner to the top right hand corner as shown:-

Take a piece of Silver Non-Shedding Glitter Card 285gsm and trim it down to two pieces measuring 3 3/4" x 5 1/2".

Cut one of these pieces diagonally in half from top right to bottom left. This is Panel A. Cut the second piece in half diagonally from top left to bottom right - this is Panel B:-

Take a sheet of Christmas Tree paper and a sheet of red snowflake paper from the Christmas Patterned Paper - 6" x 6" (152 x 152mm) - 24 Sheets pack. Trim them both down to 5" x 3 1/4"

Cut the green Christmas Tree Paper panel in half diagonally from top right to bottom left.

Stick both of these panels onto the red card blank as shown:-

Make sure that the Christmas Tree panels are on the front triangular parts that fold back on themselves, and that the red snowflake panels are on the front sections of the card behind the triangular flaps. Once all stuck down, re-fold your card back into shape so it looks like this:

Next, die cut a poinsettia from Super Mirror Finish Card- Red and die cut some leaves from Super Mirror Finish Card- Green. Assemble the poinsettia and adhere to the front left hand flap of your card. Your card is now complete!
