6. Attach gold embroidery string to the back of each bauble using tape, positioning them to hang naturally on the card. ▶ watch 23:45
7. Glue the baubles onto the card background, layering them with foam pads to create height and dimension. ▶ watch 24:30

Tips from the show

• You can use the tree die in different ways - cut it without the top section to create a bauble shape instead of a traditional tree.
• If you cut six tree shapes and fold them in half, you can create 3D baubles that stand away from the card.
• The small trees included in the kit can be lifted up to give extra texture and dimension to your design.
