Instructions:
- Cut your paper to size.
- Score the Cherry Cobbler piece at 3 in (a tad less than 3 in) and 6 in. Fold at the score lines.
- Use liquid glue to attach the 3 ¾ x 7 ¾ in DSP to the Cherry Cobbler. Start flush so that you have ¼ in on three sides of the DSP. Fold along the original score lines.
- Use the Elegant Edge Punch to get the beautiful edge on the 2 x 4 ¼ in Basic White. Use Stamp N Seal to attach this to the gift card.
- Use liquid glue to attach the 2 ¾ x 4 in Basic White to the inside bottom 3 in of the card base. This is your writing surface.
- Score ½ in on three sides of the 3 ½ x 4 in DSP, leaving one 3 ½ in side without score marks. Fold along the three score lines, making a pouch. Cut the excess corners away.
- Dry fit the gift card to the pouch. Use Stamp N Seal to secure the three folded sides of the pouch to the inside center piece of the card. The gift card should slide in and out freely.
- Use the Handmade Tag Punch to cut a piece from the scrap of Basic White.
- Use Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp Merry Christmas from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set.
- Use a sponge dauber dipped in Cherry Cobbler Ink to add some color to the edges of the cutout.
- Attach 8 in of ribbon with Stamp N Seal as a belly band around the closed card OR Attach 15 in of ribbon in a simple bow around the closed card. Use Stamp N Seal to attach the sentiment cut out to the belly band.
- That’s it! You’ve made a beautiful card!
