Instructions:
1. Use a hot, dry iron to fuse web to the wrong side of the fabric. Cut 1 holly motif exactly and cut out 1 holly motif roughly out. Remove paper backing from both pieces. Lay the exactly cut out motif aside.
2. Lay the other “roughly” cut out holly motif on the white cardboard with the fused side down. Fuse the holly motif to the white cardboard with the iron. Cut the motif also now exactly out. This piece is then very stable.
3. Trace and cut out 1 natural colored star. Trace and cut out a larger second star out of the gold paper.
4. Punch a number of small stars out of the gold paper.
5. Glue first the large gold star on the green card and the natural colored star over it leaving a border around it.
6. Fuse the first exactly cut out holly motif onto the star.
7. Stick 3-D pads onto the backside of the holly fused on cardboard. Remove the paper backings and stick this over the first holly giving it a dimensional and raised look.
8. Glue the punched out paper stars randomly on the card.
