Instructions:

  1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut Color Me™ paper to cover the front, place it on the craft sheet, and swipe the brown ink pad over it to completely color it. Wipe off the excess ink with a paper towel and use the heat tool to dry it. Be careful not to smudge the copper Color Me™ design when heating as it will be soft. Ink the edges with watermark ink. Shake embossing powder onto the edges, tap off the excess, and heat with the tool to melt the powder. Glue to the card front.
  2. Punch a 7" border in the Heritage striped paper, then trim to 6½"x1⅜". Mat the punched edge on brown cardstock with a ⅛" border. Ink and emboss the edges. Glue brown gingham ribbon just above the punched border, gluing the ends on the back. Glue the border to the card, ⅜" from the top. Glue the brown tag as shown, then tie and glue a gingham bow at the top. Stamp and emboss “love” on brown cardstock. Place the 3¼" frame Dazzle™ on it, trim the edges, and glue as shown.
  3. For the inside: Cut 6"x4⅜" Heritage dotted paper, ink and emboss the edges, and glue centered on the inside. Punch a 5" border, then trim to ⅞"x4⅜" and emboss the edges. Glue to the dotted paper, 1" from the left edge. Stamp and emboss “love” on the brown/black tag and “true” on Heritage tan paper. Place the 1⅜" frame Dazzle™ on “true” and cut around the edges. Foam tape to the tag as shown. Knot a 5" length of ¾" wide ivory dotted sheer ribbon in the center. Insert the ribbon ends through the tag hole, pull the knot close to the tag, then glue it as shown.
