Tip: Practice with the punch on scrap paper to make sure your edges are punched evenly. My holly clusters are about 15/16" apart.

Instructions:

  1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top and trim to 6½"x4". Cut a 6¼"x3¾" red dots paper. Cut a 5¼"x4½" green snowflakes paper (avoid the border design). Use the punch without the guides on both 4½" sides to create decorative edges. Glue to the center of the red paper as shown and trim the excess.
  2. Cut a 2"x3¾" green/red sprigs paper and mat the long sides on white with 1/16" borders. Glue to the center of the punched piece as shown. Cut an 8" red grosgrain ribbon and knot it 3" from the left end. Glue across the constructed front, securing the ends on the back. Insert brads to secure the Noel Brad Buddy™ as shown. Glue the constructed front centered on the card.
  3. For the inside: Cut a 6¼"x3¾" green/red sprigs paper and glue centered on the inside. Cut a 5½"x3½" red dots paper. Print the sentiment in red on white. Cut to 4 5/8"x3", allowing 1½" of empty space below the sentiment. Punch the lower edge of the sentiment. Knot a 7" red/white ribbon 2" from the left end, then glue it across the top of the sentiment, securing the ends on the back. Glue the constructed sentiment to the inside.
