7. Close the card over as shown so that the tabs are glued in place.
8 The inside of the card should now look like this.

12. Glue one white reindeer to the top right. Glue the other white reindeer on top of the pink one, offsetting slightly to create a "shadow" and glue these to the bottom left. Die cut two small holly sprigs and glue to each turned back flap. Decorate with lots of tiny gems.
