Add Tear & Tape to the outside edges of the longer flap. Remove the protective backing and adhere, creating the pocket for the gift card.
Close the top flap and wrap with ribbon, securing with a bow.
Use the Bough Punch to crop two each (Garden Green and Old Olive) of the large bough and two (Real Red)of the small bough.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment(s) in Real Red or Garden Green Classic Ink (your choice).
Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the coordinating Seasonal Labels Dies.
Adhere the cropped boughs to the back of the sentiment as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere only the top half of the sentiment to the holder with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish the sentiment with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
