1

Make a 21x10cm card blank from white cardstock. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 20x9cm. Cut the centre of this panel using the Essential Edges die. Cut the hill twice by adding the hill die underneath the first die-cut hill, with 4/5cm between them, making sure it is parallel. Cut the hill at both ends with a craft knife and a ruler. Emboss this panel with the folder twice.

2

Cut out the Inverted Scallop frame in red Mirri Card and attach onto the embossed panel.

3

Stamp the gingerbread man three times with clear ink onto kraft cardstock and heat-emboss with white embossing powder. Fussy-cut and blend Vintage Photo ink to the edges.

4

Cut a small circle from white cardstock and attach the penny. Use a 3D foam pad to attach the circle underneath the hill panel so that the 3D foam pad is at the top of the panel slider. Adhere a gingerbread man onto the 3D foam pad.

5

Use foam tape to adhere the panel, making sure to leave 1cm from the die-cut hill edges so the gingerbread man can spin easily.

6

Affix the panel onto the card front. Attach the other gingerbread man onto the right side of the card front. Randomly add glitter for sparkle. Adhere a sentiment onto the card front.

To decorate the envelope, adhere a piece of patterned paper onto the front. Die-cut two stitched panels, a smaller one in white cardstock and a larger in red Mirri card. Matt and layer and adhere onto the envelope front.

9

Stamp sentiments and labels with red ink and cut out. Adhere one of the sentiments onto the back of the flap and the rest onto the envelope front with a die-cut heart from the red Mirri Card. Attach the gingerbread man onto the left side of the envelope.
