Cut 1¾"x4¾" Chocolate-Dipped stripes paper, ink the edges, and mat the right long edge on cardstock with a ¼" border. Trim with scallop-edged scissors. Glue blue ribbon 3/8" from the right edge, gluing the ends on the back. Punch out the Chocolate-Dipped brown border die cut and trim to 4¾". Glue to the striped paper along the left edge, then glue to the brown paper, aligning the left edges.
Punch out the Chocolate-Dipped blue swirl frame, 2" rose, ¾" green butterfly, 5/8" red heart, a brown and a green button die cut. Ink the edges. Center the frame on the front and trace the opening.
