For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left and cut it to 5” x 5 3/4”. Cover the front with the gold diamonds border paper with the border on the left. Remove the tag from the bag and cut the bottom 2” off the bag. Set the bottom aside for step 7.
On the top portion of the bag, fold 1/2” to the back along the bottom edge. Glue to secure, forming a short pocket. Glue the bag to the card front, 1/2” from the lower edge.

Cut a 4 3/4” length of the Dazzles lights border and adhere it near the upper edge of the dots border, positioning it as shown. Repeat with the tree border, cutting a 4 7/8” length and adhering it along the bottom edge of the dots border.
For the tag: Cut the tag to 3 3/4” tall. Round the lower corners. Cover the front with the gold dots paper.

Adhere the tall Dazzles tree over the stripe and add a star at the top.

For the inside: Cut a 4 1/2” x 5” piece of the large circles paper and mat it on ivory. Glue it centered on the inside back. Use the circle punch to punch a half-circle thumb notch along the center top edge of the bag bottom from step. Glue the bag to the inside back.
