Instructions

On the long side score the card stock at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Run one of the pieces of white card through the machine in the embossing folder.

Wrap some ribbon around the width of the card towards the bottom and secure on the back with sticky tape. Then wrap the ribbon round the other way and tie a bow to make it look like a parcel.

Adhere the embossed layer to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining piece of white and add to the inside of the card.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out with the smaller of the oval punches and then layer up on the scalloped one punched out in red/green to match the card base and ribbon.

Add some rhinestones to complete the card. How easy was that? So simple and so effective, why not give it a try.
