  5. Place the cookie cutter onto the vanilla cardstock and trace all around it. Repeat so that you will have two bells. Cut the bells out.
  6. Add Super-tack glue all around the outline of the bells, and add some detail to the bottom part of the bells.
  7. Allow the Super-tack glue to dry for about 20 minutes. When the glue is wet, it is blue, but when it is dry it becomes transparent.
  8. Press the foil down on the glue. Remember that - of course - the golden side of the foil must be on top.
  9. Lightly rub the foil over the areas where you have added glue with the Super-tack glue pen.
  10. Carefully lift the foil. On the areas where you have added glue with the Super-tack pen, some of the foil will stay behind.

  12. Cut a rectangle from the Upikit scrapbook paper ~ the rectangle should be big enough for the "Season's Greetings" stamp to fit on it. Cover the stamp with the black ink and transfer the image onto the rectangle.
  13. While the ink is still wet, sprinkle a liberal amount of embossing powder over the wet ink. Shake off any excess powder and use the hairdryer to emboss the powder. The powder will turn shiny once enough heat has been applied. Allow to dry thoroughly.
