Step by step instructions to create you own card (inches are in bold)
If desired ink all edges of cardstock/DSP etc. using inkpads and sponge daubers
1. Cut berry burst cardstock 29cm x 10cm (11 7/16" x 4") & score at 14.5cm (5 6/8") and set aside
2. Cut the following cardstock 
- tempting turquoise 14cm x 9.5cm (5 1/2" x 3 3/4") 
- whisper white shaving cream coloured background (I had previously made)
- 2 pieces of basic gray 10.5cm x 10cm (4 1/8" x 4") 
3. Die cut basic grey panels using edgelits
4. Add strips of gold foil behind the windows for the lights to be "glowing"
5. Stamp santa sleigh and reindeer in Memento ink on the top right hand corner of shaving cream background piece
6. Punch out 1" circle from so saffron cardstock and stamp a portion of the santa sleigh and reindeer onto the circle. Overlap the circle onto the shaving cream background so the sleigh images line up
7. Adhere the basic grey edgelits onto the shaving cream background (and trim off any excess if required)
8. Stamp Joy to the World sentiment in memento ink at the bottom of the basic grey cardstock
9. Adhere shaving cream panel onto tempting turquoise cardstock and adhere onto berry burst card front
