The Lucky Charms cereal was definitely the one item in the Mystery Kit that threw me for a loop.

I used them to enhance the branch by covering the top with Liquid Pearls in White Opal. I then took the German Glitter out of the container with my spoon and carefully sprinked them onto the still wet Liquid Pearls. Once they were completely dry I added a small drop of glue to the back of each berry and added it to the die cut branch.

I used a Spellbinders set of snowflake dies to create three flakes out of the Shrink Film. Spellbinders dies also allow you to emboss the flakes before you heat them to shrink them.

The title "Happy Holidays" was embossed onto the kraft using the Sizzix embossing folder. I had to trim the kraft to a 6 x 12 strip in order to pass it through the embossing machine and in order to print on it with the Gel Pens in my Cricut. Before I lightly inked the title with white ink I lightly sanded the embossed kraft to allow the ink to absorb into the paper.

I roughed up the edge of the Snowflake white cardstock using an edge distresser. The Core'dination Core Impressions paper was sanded before I mounted it to the white cardstock.

I used my sewing machine and white thread to create random snowflake falling lines. The snowflakes are attached to the page using an aggressive clear drying glue.
