Instructions: Make a white card base 6 1/2" x 6 1/2". Cut one piece of white cardstock 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" and one 6 1/2" x 71/2", score larger one at 1" and adhere together, this will make the card base. Cut 3 pieces of the Candlelit Christmas paper 1/4" smaller than the card base and adhere to the inside and outside. Finish the inside first. Make a pocket for the lower part, cut a piece 7 1/2" x 2". Score on both sides and the bottom 1/2". Fold and using the smallest circle from the Basic circle die, place in the center, adhere to the bottom of the inside card. Die cut one of the card fronts from the paper collection, mount it on white cardstock and add to the pocket along with the Tea bag and honey stick. From the paper collection choose the sentiment you like, mount on white card stock, add adhesive to 3 sides and adhere to the upper inside of the card. This will allow a place for a tag to slide in and out. After choosing the tag you want and cutting it out with the Ticket and Tag die, mount it on white cardstock as well, adda bow and slide in the upper pocket. Add Sentiments form the paper collection to both the upper and lower inside of card as shown.
Using white cardstock, die cut 2 of the Starry Night dies, marry them together on the front of the card. Using the largest circle die, cut out a piece of the matching paper, add dimensionals to the back and adhere to the center. Cut 2 of the Regal Pocket dies, marry together making one large one, stamp the sentiment in the center, add dimensionals and adhere to the center of the circle.
Stamp the flowers on the Deluxe flower shaping paper with the Red Geranium, lightly color in with the Rose Coral, use the coordinating die and cut out. Ink the edges with the Red Geranium. Stamp the leaves with the Emerald Green ink on the Deluxe Flower Shaping paper, lightly color using the same ink and cut out with the matching die. Ink the edges with the same ink. Place both the flowers and leaves in the mold and run through the die cutting machine.
