First, I chose the designer series paper (DSP) that I wanted to use on the background. I then pulled the colors that coordinated with it.

Since it was a squared background, I chose to place everything in squares and just flip them in different directions to give it some character and interest.

I then went to find Christmas images that were small enough to fit on the 1-1/4 inch squares. I chose four images. Stamped, colored and sponged these on the Whisper White squares.

I adhered the background DSP to the Blushing Bride card base.

I then took the 3" Lemon Lime Twist and punched the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch. I adhered this onto the top-center of the DSP.

Next, I adhered the four Pool Party squares on top of the Lemon Lime Twist square as shown above. Note that the squares are close but not touching each other.

I then took a designer button and adhered it to the center of the Pool Party squares. I used a glue dot to attach it.

I then adhered the Whisper White squares with the images on them. The top and bottom squares were adhered with liquid adhesive. The squares on the left and right were attached using dimensionals.

I stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White. I stamped it using Garden Green. I punched it out using the Classic Label Punch.

I then adhered it to a scrap of Garden Green and fussy cut around it to give the sentiment a border. I added a small rhinestone on each end. This was attached to the card base using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added candy dots on the ticket corners of the Lemon Lime Twist square, stamped a couple of snowflakes on each corner, and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
