A Christmas Card decorated with an embossed Design and a punched-out Snowflake

1   Cut a piece of textured paper slightly smaller than the front of the greeting card. Cut out a 7 cm diameter circle approx. 3 cm from the edge of the paper.

2   Load the embossing and die-cutting machine as follows: First the cutting platform, then place the piece of paper on the platform and then the embossing folder and finally the cutting mat. Make sure that the orange dial is set on 3D Emboss. Place the layers directly on top of each other and run the whole ensemble through the machine.

3   Turn the dial to Diecut. Place the die with the snowflake onto the platform with the cutting side facing up. Place the paper on top and finally the cutting mat. Run the whole ensemble through the machine.

4   Place the textured paper on the table with the embossed design facing up. Fold the lid onto the back of the embossing stamp pad box. Make sure there isn't too much glue on the stamp pad (not too moist). Gently dab the stamp pad onto the raised embossed pattern without touching the base of the textured paper.

5   Immediately sprinkle embossing powder onto the wet glue.

6   Shake off excess embossing powder, blow hard and carefully remove the rest of the embossing powder between the embossed patterns using a small brush.

7   Melt the embossing powder with a heat gun.

8   Finally attach all the parts onto the front of the Christmas card using Power Tape.
