Winter Deer Jack Frost Card

Instructions:

1. For the card: Follow the Basic Crosshatch dies package directions to die cut the backdrop and all the crossbars from Frosted Flowers light blue border cardstock. Ink the edges of all the pieces, front and back, with Stormy Night. Assemble the card as the packaging directs.

2. For the front: Die cut triangular trees from solid dark green and patterned light green cardstocks for a total of five trees. Die cut forest trees from solid green and light green patterned cardstocks for a total of three trees. Die cut matching forest trees from solid brown cardstock. Cut the branches portion of each green forest tree from the trunk and glue it to a matching brown tree, aligning the edges.

3. Ink the edges of the light green trees with Khaki and all the dark green trees with Concrete. Paint all the trees with the sparkle pen. Paint six skeleton leaves with the sparkle pen, then let all the pieces dry. Glue four skeleton leaves to the backdrop curving up the left side and across the bottom, just above the crossbars.

4. Mat the “Jack Frost has arrived” cutout on white cardstock with ⅛" borders, then foam tape it to the backdrop at the upper right. Glue and foam tape three trees to the backdrop. Glue a leaf and a tree extending up from behind the middle crossbar and a tall tree on the front of the same crossbar.

5. Glue a leaf extending from behind the front crossbar, then glue three trees to the front of the crossbar as shown. Foam tape the “hello” cutout to the front crossbar near the right end.

6. For the back: Mat the large blue blank label on white cardstock with ⅛" borders and glue it to the back. Mat the “cozy up this winter” cutout on blue cardstock with ⅛" borders and glue it extending off the right edge of the blank label. Die cut the trees shown, add the sparkle ink, and glue them to the left edge of the labels.
