How to Make This Card

1. Large Early Espresso Banner

Cut the bottom edge into a shallow fishtail banner shape. The center point is about 1/2” high.

Emboss with any embossing folder. I used the Crosshatch Pattern from the Basics Pack (retired).

Adhere the brown embossed cardstock to the front of the card, centering it evenly.


2. Stamp

Stamp the Wreath in Mossy Meadow ink on the Gift Box piece. You will not be able to fit the whole wreath.

Stamp your greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on the 1-1/2” Basic Beige Circle.


3. Create the Banner Layers

Cut the hole from the top of the green striped banner. Adhere it to the right side of the card at an angle.

Layer the smaller plaid wreath piece in the center of the Green Banner, slightly offset for interest.

Add the Green Tag with the Red Stripe side up on the left of the card.


4. Build the Tag Focal Point

Add your stamped greeting to the right side of the Tag with a dimensional.

Trim a small section from the leftover Branch with Leaves Die and tuck it under the greeting near the top.

Add the larger leftover piece of the Branch with Leaves tucked under the bottom of the greeting.


5. Add Embellishments

Tie two 8” pieces of linen thread together, through the tag hole and let the ends hang loosely.

Add 3-5 Red Embellishments around the greenery.
