Snow Buddies Crosshatch Acetate Christmas Card

Instructions:

1. For the card: Cut 5"x8" acetate, then fold it in half, creating a 5"x4" top-folding card. Cut two 3¼"x5" white cardstocks, then tear along one 5" edge of each. Use the applicator to lightly brush glitter kiss along the torn edge of each cardstock and let it dry completely. 

2. Use sticky tape along the upper edge of the cardstock to attach one to the acetate front along the lower edge, adjusting it to create a 6½" tall card. Repeat with the second piece on the inside, aligning the side and bottom edges with the front cardstock.

3. For the front: Cut and tear two more white cardstock pieces as for the first one, this time making one 2" tall and the other 1¼" tall. Brush glitter kiss along the upper edges and let them dry. Glue the 2" tall cardstock across the front, aligning the straight edges and leaving the upper edge near the left end unglued. Glue the 1¼" tall cardstock on top, again aligning the straight edges and leaving the upper edge unglued near the right end.

4. Die cut a stocking cap and top hat snowman from suede paper. For the accessories: Cut the stocking cap from green cardstock and from suede paper. Cut the scarf and two noses from dark yellow cardstock. Die cut the top hat from dark red and the bow tie from bright red cardstock. Die cut all the buttons and facial features from dark blue cardstock. Cut the stocking cap trim and ball from the suede paper and glue to the green cap. Glue all the accessories in place. 

5. Glue the stocking cap snowman tucked behind the middle snow bank near the left card edge. Glue the top hat snowman tucked behind the front snow bank near the right card edge. Place white “merry Christmas” Dazzles™ as shown. Place border Dazzles™ near the upper and lower edges, trimming the excess. Die cut snowflakes from glitter cardstock and glue them as shown, then place crystal stickers in the snowflake centers.

6. For the inside: Cut and tear another snow bank, this one 5"x1¾". Add glitter kiss and when it’s dry, glue it to the inside, aligning the lower edges. Die cut an ear muff snowman from suede paper and the accessories from the cardstocks as shown. Glue the pieces together, then glue him tucked behind the lower snow bank so he’s hidden behind the left front snowman when the card is closed. Glue glitter snowflakes and add crystal stickers to them as shown. Place red “joy” Dazzles™ at the lower right, then place a border Dazzles™ near the lower edge, trimming the excess.
