Materials list:
The first thing I did was I taped the DSP to one of the Basic White pieces. Then I lined up the 2nd largest circle die in the "Stylish Shapes" set so there was equal spacing on the top and two sides. I cut the pieces out.
Then I taped the piece on top of the Garden Green card front. I lined up the 3rd largest circle on top of the Garden Green opening. I cut the circle out of it.
Next I took a pencil and lightly traced it on the Basic White piece that will go on the inside of the card. I didn't tape it down, I just lined it up and closed the card and then traced the circle opening. Now here is where you would really benefit from a kneadable eraser. It only picks up the graphite and does not leave any eraser stubble behind nor does it wear on your paper and make it pill. They are not very expensive and you can find them in the drawing areas of you craft/hobby store. Since they are kneadable I pull off a pinch, remove the eraser in my mechanical pencil and form the eraser to fit. I will not be without it when crafting. Anyway, once my circle was lightly drawn I could see where the words needed to be stamped. The words were stamped using Pool Party in and then the circle was erased. Then I taped the piece to the inside of the card.
On the front I had die cut three snowflakes from the "One of a Kind" bundle using Basic White card stock. I set them in place using small Dimensionals and to hide the stick part that shows through the opening of the snowflake centers I added pearls. If I were to make them to send I think I would use some sparkly white glitter paper (retired - though I think some things should be basic staples). And the card was done.
This was a fun, quick and easy card to make. P.S. My circle really is centered, it's just bad photography!
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda

Such a pretty card, and I like your suggestion to replace the eraser from your mechanical pencil with the kneadable one!
