-
Trim a black panel smaller than the white panel.

Cut/Emboss slate cardstock with Labels Forty-One Die #2 (the smallest size die is #1) multiple times, using the Grand Calibur Machine. I find it helpful to cut a few extras in case you need them.

Create a background pattern with the label die cuts touching top to bottom and side to side. Adhere.
-
Trim the overhanging portions of the labels to be flush with the black panel. Adhere black panel to card.

Adhere the snowflake die cut to the card.
