instructions

1. Christmas Card - 1 Trim a card blank, 11.5cm x 15cm, and cover with green patterned paper. Die-cut the second largest stitched rectangle from blue paper, layer it onto red, then white card.
   
   2 Stamp, die-cut and colour an alpaca. Die-cut two layers of Puffy Clouds from white for snow and a layer of Forest Borders in green. Glue all the shapes onto the blue panel.
   
   3 Stick the alpaca to the snow using foam pads. Wrap ribbon and twine around the top of the panel, then add a bow and resin flower.
   
   4 Stick the decorated panel to the card blank. Die-cut, then attach the word ‘joy’ from silver mirror card and cover the resin flower with silver glitter glue.

2. Candle - 1 Trim two pieces of patterned paper to the desired width and length of a candle. Layer them together and wrap around the middle using double-sided tape.
   
   2 Die-cut two small banners from co-ordinating papers, stick them together and attach them to the candle. Wrap twine around it, adding a bow and resin flower. Stamp, colour and die-cut an alpaca and fix to the banner using foam pads.

3. Candy Wrapper - 1 Die-cut a candy wrapper. Score and assemble. Wrap twine around each end and secure with a bow. Trim a section of paper, 4cm wide, and wrap around the centre of the box.
   
   2 Stamp, colour and trim an alpaca and stick it to one side of the box. Stamp sentiments, trim and ink around the edges, then add them to wrapper as desired.
