Instructions
1. Glue one window frame strip vertically in the center of the Basic White

3. Glue the
DSP frame to the center front of the Real Red cardstock frame.
4. Add texture to the four 2-3/4” Basic White cardstock squares with embossing folder. Glue one square in the center of each pane of the window frame.
5. Stamp a Thick White cardstock piece with present image in Garden Green ink, Gingerbread Man in Pecan Pie ink, and stocking in Real Red ink. Use the coordinating die-cuts to cut out the stamped images and a large tag, the Santa Hat brim and tassel, a small tag, and the stocking top. Trim away the hanger portion of the present and stocking die-cuts.
6. Stamp a piece of Real Red cardstock with two berry images in Real Red ink. Die-cut the berries, three small hearts, and a Santa Hat. Trim the Santa Hat to create a hat that fits on the top of the Gingerbread Man’s head. Glue the hat to the top edge of the head. Hand-trim the die-cut hat brim to fit the bottom of the Santa hat. Glue the brim over the bottom edge of the hat. Glue the three small Real Red cardstock hearts over the white hearts on the front of the
Gingerbread Man. Stamp the face of the Gingerbread Man with eyes and smile image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Mount the Gingerbread Man to the center of the top right pane of the window frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add three white sequins randomly around the Gingerbread Man.
7. Stamp a small die-cut tag with sentiment of choice in Memento
Tuxedo Black ink. Cut from the center of the tag hole to the top outside edge. Die-cut a Lemon-Lime Twist ribbon. Wrap the tag opening around the ribbon die-cut. Glue the ribbon to the center front of the stamped present die-cut. Mount the present to the center of the top left pane of the window frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
8. Glue the
stocking top die-cut piece to the top of the stamped stocking die-cut. Stamp two holly images on Lemon Lime Twist cardstock in Garden Green ink; die-cut. Glue one of the holly diecuts to the front of the stocking die-cut on the right hand side. Glue a berry die-cut to the top of the holly die-cut. Mount the stocking die-cut to the center of the bottom left pane of the window frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Randomly add three white sequins around the stocking die-cut.
9. Stamp around the edges of the large Thick White cardstock tag die-cut with “Ho Ho Ho” sentiment in Real Red ink. Stamp the center of the tag with sentiment of choice in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Glue a holly die-cut in the bottom right corner of the tag. Mount a berry diecut to the top of the holly leaves. Mount the tag to the center of the bottom right pane of
the window frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals aligning the right corner down just slightly. Be sure to place a Stampin’ Dimensional under the hole of the large tag with the adhesive coming through the front of the hole.
10. Tie a 6” piece of ribbon into a bow. Mount the bow to the front of the tag over the hole using a Mini Glue dot. Trim bow ends
if needed.
