Designer Tips: The embellishments used on this card (those not listed below) can be found in the kit designed for this webisode.

Instructions:

  1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Make a fold-back card by bringing the right front edge back to the fold and creasing. Cut Lacy blue lace paper to cover the front panel and glue the upper half in place. Cut 2½"x5 1/8" Lacy corner paper with lace on the right edge. Stamp the swirly tree in glacier lake. Use the sponge to dab Smooch ink onto the solid tree stamp and stamp it on the first tree. Let dry, then mat on Lacy pink paper with 1/16" borders, then on cardstock with 1/8" borders.
  2. Attach two silver snowflake Mini Brad Buddies™ and one silver snowflake brad to the tree piece in the upper left corner. Glue to the front with half extending off the right edge. Knot “home for the holidays” twill just right of one sentiment, then trim to 4¾". Glue below the tree, tucking and gluing the left end under the paper. Secure the lower half of the blue paper to the card.
  3. For the inside: Cover the second panel with Lacy corner paper as shown. Cut Lacy striped paper to cover the inside back and glue the upper half in place. Cut 2¼"x4¼" Lacy blue lace paper and repeat the stamping process using the ornament stamps with red devil and Smooch inks. Mat on Lacy pink paper with 1/16" borders, then on cardstock with 1/8" borders. Glue to the striped paper so it’s hidden when the card is closed. Cut another phrase from the twill to 3¾" long and glue as before then glue the striped paper to the card. Punch a hole in the top of the “enjoy” clear tag and tie onto the twill with thread. Knot a 3" burgundy gingham ribbon and glue over the thread.
