Using the Xyron 3/8" Adhesive Runner make diagonal lines across the transparency left shape and adhere to bright pink cardstock. Tracing over the exact line, run another strip of adhesive using the Xyron 3/8" Adhesive Runner. Apply bright pink glitter.
- Use the gingerbread die cuts or cut two gingerbread men from brown cardstock using the Xyron Wishblade. Layer and attach the goodies to the top of the white cardstock wishlist. Insert list into stocking so the goodies are sticking out the top.
