How To Make It...

1. Print it!
   
   
2. Fold it! If you are not using a gatefold card blank then score your A5 card to make a gatefold card using your scoreboard.
3. Cut it!
   
   
   1. Cut 2 rectangles from sheet 14 slightly smaller than the panels on the front of your card.
   2. Cut a rectangle from sheet 6 slightly smaller than the inside of your card.
   3. Cut out one heart from sheet 3 leaving a white border all the way around.
   4. Cut out one of the sentiments from sheet 1 leaving a white border all the way around.
   5. Cut out an oval around the girl image from sheet 7 using either your scissors, punch or die.
   6. Cut a slightly larger oval from sheet 8 using your fancy scissors or scallopped punch/dies.
4. Color it! Using your pens and pencils colour the image from the Christmas Doodles eKit.
5. Glue it!
   
   
   1. Glue the rectangles from sheet 14 to the front panels of your card.
   2. Open your card and glue the rectangle you cut earlier from sheet 6 to the inside of your card.
   3. Now add your sentiment to the centre of sheet 6.
   4. Add a heart to the bottom right corner of your insert.
   5. Glue the image to the scallopped oval - allow to dry.
   6. Now glue the left hand side of the oval to the left hand side panel, making sure that it is central to your card front.

6. Get doodling! With your fine black liner doodle around the edges of the papers and add little dots to each scallop.
   
   
7. Bling it!
   
   
   1. Add some glitter to the fur trim of the image.
   2. Place your gemstones to the bottom of the right hand panel.
   3. Finish with adding some glaze to the buttons of the jacket... perfect!
