Attach to the front of the card base.

Create Layer Two:
Use the wavy die with pearl white card to cut several die-cut pieces.
Lay out the wavy die cuts on the card base to resemble snow mounds.
Use foam pads to adhere the die cuts to the card base, creating added dimension and a layered snow effect.
Use the tree dies with green card to cut two trees die-cut pieces.
Use a white gel pen to draw snow-like accents on the trees.
Position the trees on your card base.
Secure them in place using foam pads to create dimension.
