Christmas Sparkle Easel Card
For the card front: Open the card and fold the front edge in to the center and crease. Unfold the front panel, close the card, and place it with the center fold at the top. Cut 6 3/8"x4 5/8" Christmas Sparkle border paper with the border along the left edge. Cut the paper in half lengthwise, then glue the papers centered on the front panels.
Place border Dazzles™ along the left edge of both paper panels, trimming the borders to fit. Die cut “Merry Christmas” from gold sparkles holographic cardstock and from white cardstock. Glue the gold greeting to the white greeting, then glue the lower half of the greeting just to the lower front panel. (The upper half should extend above the fold when the easel card is displayed open.)
Place snowflake Dazzles™ on the front around the greeting, avoiding the poinsettias. Place jewel Dazzles™ on the snowflakes and the border Dazzles™.
For the inside: Cut 6½"x4" Christmas Sparkle pink words paper and mat the long edges on burgundy cardstock with 1/8" borders. Glue it to the inside, aligning the lower edges. Place a small holly cluster Dazzles™ on Christmas Sparkle green tapestry paper and cut along the edges of the leaves. Glue it to the inside as shown.
Cut 6½"x2" Christmas Sparkle dark brown sparkles paper with the glitter at the right end. Mat the long edges on gold sparkle holographic cardstock with 1/8" borders.
