If you click on any product picture below it will take you to Tonic Studio USA site where you can find the bundles. Be sure to check it out.

My card today I created using Nuvo Expanding Mousse, Winter Wonderland Stencil, Susan's Garden Club Spider Mum and her Holly & Berries. Sentiment is Tonic Studio- Let It Snow.

Step 1 Cut Holly Berry Branch twice from brown cardstock. Adhere together using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. I did a bunch all at once then embossed them with a woodgrain embossing folder. I know it doesn't really show in picture but it does show in person. Shade with brown ink. Using Nuvo Crystal Drops - Red Berry add berries to branch then set aside to dry. Once dry add berries to back side again set aside to dry.

Step 2 Cut colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4". My cardstock is a dark blue that has a sheen to it - it was a piece in my scraps. Take Winter Wonderland Stencil place over colored cardstock. Using spatula add Nuvo Expanding Mousse - Worn Linen over stencil. Once scene is covered remove stencil either set aside to dry or heat set.

Step 3 Cut white cardstock 5" X 7". Using a rectangle die that fits card front and shows off your scene die cut. Emboss using dotted swiss embossing folder. Adhere over scene using Nuvo Adhesive Tape Runner. Using same tape runner adhere to front of 5" X 7" card base.

Step 4 Cut Holly Leaves from green cardstock or white cardstock and color. Shade and shape leaves. Brush with Nuvo Crystal Glaze set aside to dry.

Step 5 Use Susan's Garden Club Spider Mum Die Set to cut 1 mum from white cardstock or color of your choice. Color and shape.

Step 6 Cut 1 from silver mirror card or other shiny cardstock 1 pc from Tonic Studios Essential Pinecone Season Die Set. Emboss with woodgrain embossing folder.

Step 7 Die cut Tonic Studio's Let It Snow twice once from the silver mirror card and once from black. Adhere together silver over black offsetting just a tiny bit to give a shadow.

Step 8 Using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive start building on your card starting with silver piece. Add Holly and Berries then build your mum. Add leaves and Ladybug.

Step 9 Add sentiment at bottom of card front.
