Joyful Tidings Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Cut 4 7/8"x6 3/8" Hopscotch red pindot paper. Wrap a 6" dotted ribbon across the paper, 1 3/8" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the paper centered on the front.
Cut 4"x5½" Hopscotch green plaid paper and mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue to the front ¼" from the left edge, slipping it under the ribbon. Die cut a 3"x5 7/8" tag from cardstock, then stamp the matching design on it with VersaMark™ ink. Cover with embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat the remainder to melt.
Place the tag on the craft sheet. Use the blending tool to swirl Mowed Lawn ink over the upper portion of the tag. Swirl Forest Moss over the lower portion, then use both inks to blend them where they overlap. Let dry, then insert a 7/8" green Embellie™ in the top. Glue the tag to the front as shown, slipping it under the ribbon.
Die cut a 1¾"x3½" tag from cardstock, then stamp and emboss it. Completely cover the tag with Barn Door ink, then lightly blend Forest Moss over the lower end of the tag. Let dry completely. With the hole on the right, stamp “joyful tidings” on the tag with Jet Black ink, then foam tape it over the ribbon as shown.
Make a 4-loop bow with dotted ribbon and secure the center with thread. Wrap the prongs of a 5/8" black Embellie™ over the bow center, then use double-stick tape to secure the bow over the red tag’s hole.
For the inside: Cut 3½"x5" Hopscotch green pindot paper and mat on red words paper with ¼" borders. Glue centered on the inside. Die cut, stamp and emboss a 2¼"x4½" tag on cardstock, then ink with Barn Door and Forest Moss as for the red tag on the front. Glue to the inside, 1" from the center fold.
Die cut, stamp and emboss a 1¾"x3½" tag on cardstock, then ink with Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss as for the green tag on the front. When completely dry, turn the tag with the hole on the left, then stamp “it’s the best time of the year” on it with Jet Black ink. Glue to the inside as shown.
