  • THEN glue the side panel together. 
  • Tie the Red Ribbon around the Burlap Ribbon.
  • Using your Stamp-a-ratus – stamp the flowers in Sweet Sorbet and the leaves in Mossy Meadow.

  • Punch hearts from DSP (or you can stamp them with stamp set – then punch) and attach to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Attach Petal Pink heart on top of all.
  • Attach mat onto front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Inside – attach DSP strip to the left side panel.  Be sure to ONLY put glue on the sides and bottom so that the gift card or cash will slide in from the top.
