Instructions:
- For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left and trim to 4½"x6". Cover the front with gold circles paper and ink the edges. Cut a 3¼"x4½" ivory/gold circles paper and ink the edges. Cut a 3¼"x3¾" gold striped paper and ink the edges. Glue the two pieces on the front as shown.
- Stamp the tree on ivory cardstock and trim to 1 7/8"x2½". Ink the edges and mat on dark green cardstock with 1/16" borders. Ink the edges and glue to the front near the right edge as shown. Cut a 2"x5½" dark green cardstock and punch one long edge with the multi-shaper. Trim to 4½"x1½" and glue across the card, overlapping the lower edge of the tree.
- Cut a 4½" strip of gold dots paper, two dots wide. Ink the edges and glue across the punched strip as shown. Cut out a label from gold cardstock and ink the edges. Stamp “Merry & Bright” in the center, then glue to the dots strip just left of the tree. Add a nailhead at each end.
- For the inside: Cut a 4¼"x1½" gold circles paper and ink the edges. Glue centered on the inside. Print the sentiment in green on ivory cardstock and trim to 3?"x1½". Ink the edges and glue to the circles piece. Cut a 5½"x2" gold cardstock and punch one long edge with the multi-shaper. Trim to 4½"x1¼" and glue along the lower edge of the circles piece.
- Cut a 4½"x 3/8" dark green cardstock and ink the edges. Glue to the gold punched strip as shown and add a nailhead at each end. Cut out the “holiday greetings” pine cone art and glue below the sentiment as shown.
