1. Cut a 4.25 x 9.5 card base from white cardstock and fold accordingly—right side fold in approx. 2.25” and left side fold in approx. 3.25”. The end result should be a 4.25 x 4.25” square card.
2. Cut patterned paper accordingly—pink snowflake approx. 2 x 3.75; round right corners; green dot approx. 3 x 3.75; round right corners; red stripe approx. .75 x 3.75; teal snowflake approx. 1.25 x 4.25; scallop edge.
3. Adhere papers to card—pink paper on inside fold and from left to right layering green, red, and teal papers on the outside fold.
4. Use black ribbon to cover seam and edge with holiday word stickers.
5. Punch scallop from a scrap of green cardstock and attach sticker. Use a safety pin to attach tag to ribbon.
