Instructions:

  1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut green swirls paper to fit the front, but don’t glue yet. Ink the edges liberally, then cover with embossing powder. Heat set the powder. Cut a 3" circle from green dots and emboss the edge as for the swirls piece. Glue the circle on the swirls piece, 1¼" from the right edge and 1" from the bottom.
  2. Emboss the tree on red suede and cut to 2"x2 3/8". Mat on gold with 1/16" borders then glue as shown. Insert a star brad at the tree top. Cut a 6½"x 5/8" gold paper strip and glue across the bottom of the circle and tree.
  3. Knot one end of a 7" green twill length and glue across the gold strip as shown, wrapping the end to the back. Cut out the “wonder” art, emboss the edge, and foam tape over the twill and tree as shown. Glue the constructed front to the card.
  4. For the inside: Cut a 6½"x 5/8" gold paper strip and glue centered across the inside. Cut a 3½"x3" green swirls paper and emboss the edges. Wrap the center with twill, gluing the ends at the back. Cut the acrylic sentiment to 2 3/8"x2" and secure to the twill with a star brad on each side. Glue the constructed sentiment centered on the gold paper strip.
