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 on the left. Cut green swirls paper to fit the front, positioning a section of the corner design at the upper left. Ink the edges and glue.
  2. Cut a 3"x7" red tapestry paper. Use the punch without guides to create a decorative edge on both long sides. Ink the edges and glue to a 2"x7" ivory ornaments paper. Mat the long edges on brown ornaments paper with 1/8" borders. Ink the edges and glue centered on the card. Trim the excess.
  3. Cut the large star from yellow iridescent paper and mat on brown with a 1/16" border. Ink the edges, then attach the star Brad Buddy™ using the brads shown. Glue the star to the border. Print “Rejoice!” in brown on ivory ornaments paper and cut to 2"x¾". Ink the edges and mat on brown ornaments paper. Ink the edges and foam tape to the card at the lower right.
  4. For the inside: Print the sentiment in brown on ivory ornaments paper, positioning the border along the left. Cut to 4½"x5 5/8" and ink the edges. Cut a medium and two small stars from yellow iridescent paper and ink the edges. Glue to the sentiment and insert the brads as shown. Glue the sentiment centered on the inside.
