Designer's Tip: The designs on the tags for this card are foiled with gilding flakes. I always keep baby wipes handy when I’m foiling so I can clean the glue off my fingers before handling the flakes. Otherwise, I end up with thick layers of foiling on my fingers, making it hard to work.

Instructions:
- For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Cut 5"x6½" Christmas Cheer maroon Xs paper and ink the edges. Wrap 6" grosgrain ribbon across the paper, 1⅝" from the bottom and glue the ends to the back. Glue the paper to the card front.
- Die cut one 3"x5⅞" tag from cardstock and one from Christmas Cheer black paper. Squeeze FlitterGlu onto the cosmetic sponge and rub it into the surface with your finger. Tap the sponge over the holly tag stamp until it’s covered with a thin layer of glue. Stamp onto the ivory tag.
- Press gilding flakes over the glue on the tag, then lightly rub the excess off with your fingers and return it to the container. Use the scoochy foam to rub the remaining excess foil flakes off the tag until the design shows well. Repeat the stamping and foiling process on the black tag.
- Insert a ⅝" maroon Embellie™ in the black tag, then slip it under the ribbon and glue it angled to the upper right. Attach the “joy” Embellie™ to the ivory tag, then foam tape it angled left as shown. Tie a shoestring bow with grosgrain ribbon and use double-stick tape to attach it to the first ribbon as shown.
- For the inside: Die cut a 2¼"x4½ and a 1¾"x3½" tag from cardstock, then foil both as for the tags on the front. Stamp “peace on earth” on the smaller tag with Jet Black ink.
- Cut 4"x5½" Christmas Cheer maroon pindot paper and mat on Christmas Cheer black paper with ⅛" borders. Cut a 6" sheer ribbon and thread the tags onto it with the small tag in front. Position the tags on the pindot paper as shown, then wrap the ribbon ends to the back, ⅞" from the top of the paper, and glue. Glue the tags in place.
- Glue the paper centered on the inside. Tie a shoestring bow with the remaining sheer ribbon and use double-stick tape to attach it to the first ribbon over the hole in the small tag.
