Step 1:
Cut 1 piece of Ruby
Red cardstock at 4 x 8
inches.
Cut 1 piece of Ruby
Red cardstock at 4 x 4
inches.
Pg. 1
Step 2:
Score and fold the
long piece of
cardstock at 2 and
4 inches.
Step 3:
Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock at
3 ¾ x 3 ¾ inches.
Cut a piece of patterned paper at
3 ½ x 3 ½ inches.
Cut a piece of patterned paper at
1 x 3 ½ inches.
Layer the pieces as shown in the
picture.
Step 4:
Adhere your layered pieces onto the
4 x 4 inch piece of Ruby Red
cardstock that you cut in Step 1.
This becomes the front of your card.

Step 5:
Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock at 2 x 2 ¼
inches.
Stamp the Dasher image onto it with
Basic Brown ink.
Step 6:
Cut a piece of Ruby Red cardstock at 2 ¼ x 2 ½
inches.
Adhere the Dasher image on top.
Step 7:
Apply pop-dots to the back of the Dasher
image.
Pg. 4
Step 8:
Adhere the Dasher image to the front of your
card.
You can add glitter to the image if you’d like
to embellish it a bit. I added glitter to the
antlers for a little bit of sparkle.
Step 9:
On the long piece of Ruby Red
cardstock, find the center point
of the large un-scored panel.
You can do this by measuring
up 2 inches from the bottom
and 2 inches in from the side
and then meeting where the
two measurement lines would
intersect. You can draw light
lines with a pencil and then
erase them later if you’d like.
Step 10:
Use a thumb tack to poke a hole in the
center point of the cardstock.
Pg. 5
Step 11:
Secure a silver mini brad through the hole.
Step 12:
Stamp a greeting (I used one
from the Four the Holidays
set) along the edge of the
cardstock, underneath the
brad, with Basic Brown ink.
Step 13:
Stamp some snowflakes (I
used the cluster snowflake
image from the Serene
Snowflakes set) around the
greeting with Basic Brown
ink.
Pg. 6
Step 14:
Fold down the first scored
section of the Ruby Red
cardstock and apply
adhesive to it.
Step 15:
Adhere the front of the
card to the folded part of
the Ruby Red cardstock.
Make sure the card
front’s bottom edge is
flush with the edge of
the folded Ruby Red
cardstock.
You’ll be able to fold the card down so that it is
4 x 4 inches and easily fits into a standard
quarter-fold envelope.
