Instructions:

1. For the frame and base, cut a Slim 3 Window die from both white and kraft cardstock. Hold onto the inset piece that cuts with the stitching on the inside.

2. On a piece of blending card, stamp and colour two of the cats from Santa Claws, a holly piece from Santa Paws and the tree from O Christmas Tree. Cut these out with the matching dies.

3. Cut a white cardstock piece with the second largest Slim Stitched Nesting Rectangle die. Use the Trellis stencil, and lightly blend Pumice stone distress oxide onto the bottom third of the piece. The stencil won’t cover the whole of the piece, but will cover the top with an inset.

4. Using watered down Distress Ink in Pumice stone, flick droplets onto the background. Repeat the inking and splatters onto the square inset piece also.

5. Cover the Merry Christmas mini laser cut piece with Versamark ink and cover with Red Sparkle Embossing Powder. Set with a a heat tool.

6. Set the window piece over the background and tuck the tree in underneath and off to the left. Stick the window piece down using glue tape.

7. Stick the laser cut piece to the inset and secure inside the top window with glue tape. Add in the white window pieces to the bottom two openings with liquid glue. Attach the cats and holly piece to the card using foam tape for dimension. Use the Essentials #5 Die to separate the cut-a-part sheet and use one of those as a sub-sentiment attached with a thinner piece of foam tape. Attach the panel to a card base.
