Step 1 Score an A5 piece of cardstock down the middle using a scoring board, then fold to create the card base.
Step 2 Cut a triangle shape from a sheet of double-sided adhesive. Peel off one side of the backing and stick the triangle to the centre front of the card.
Step 3 Use a pencil and ruler to draw zigzag lines across the triangle to mimic a garland.
Step 4 Use a ruler and a craft knife to carefully cut along those zigzag lines - cutting only through the adhesive layer, not the cardstock.
Step 5 Peel away strips inside the triangle. To apply the foil, place coloured side up and silver side down directly onto the exposed adhesive. Press down firmly, then gently peel back to reveal the foiled surface. Alternate between mint green and Christmas green foils.
Step 6 Stick foam mini dots along the zigzag “garland” lines. Once in place, peel off the top layer of each dot, then press red and gold foil onto them. Gently peel back the foil to reveal shiny baubles.
