HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS CARD

 In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the new Stampin' Seal

• Cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam CS 8½" x 5½".
• Score at 4¼" then fold on the score line.
• This card will open from the bottom.
• On the front of the card, we are going to cut a 1" line on both sides from the fold to the bottom, so open the card and place it in the paper trimmer with the fold line going horizontal.
• At the 4¼" mark and the 1" mark, cut a line down to the fold line.
  
• Close the card. You should have two 1" strips on each side.
  
• Holding the center and one flap down, lift the other 1" flap, add seal to the flap, then close the flap making sure it lines up perfectly. Repeat on the other flap.
• Open the center flap and place the cut line across the top of the paper trimmer and score at 2⅛" half the distance of the flap then fold of the score line.
  
  
• Cut a Piece of Evening Evergreen CS 4⅛" x 3⅜" and two 4⅛" x ⅞" pieces.
• Adhere the 2 narrow pieces to the side flaps.
  
• Add seal to the Soft Sea Foam CS below the score line and adhere the Evening Evergreen CS.

• Cut a coordinating piece of DSP 3¼" x 4" and adhere to the center panel.
  
  
• Cut a piece of Basic White 3" x 3¾".
• Using the stars stamp from the Penguin Palace Stamp Set, stamp the stars several times with the Evening Evergreen ink making an oval shape.
• Use the Evening Evergreen ink pad and sponge over the stars with the Blender Brush.
• Adhere the stamped stars to the center panel. 
  
• Cut a piece of Basic White 3" x ⅜" then stamp your greeting with the Evening Evergreen ink.
• Cut a small triangle out of each end.
• Add dimensionals to the back of the greeting and adhere to the lower part of the center panel.
• Fussy cut a snowman and a penguin from the Penguin Playmates DSP. 
• Add dimensionals to the back of the snowman and penguin and adhere to your center panel.
  
  
• Using the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon, tie a small bow, then trim the ends.
• Add a glue dot and adhere it to the card.
  
• To add a little more glitter, add a few rhinestones.
• Lift the center panel to open the card. 
• Cut a piece of Basic White 3⅜" x 4⅛" and adhere to the center panel.
• Cut a piece of Evening Evergreen 4¼" x ½"
