Step 1

Score Dashing paper at 3", 5 ½", and 8".

Step 2

Make a mountain fold using the score lines . The pattern you want on the outside should be face down.

Step 3

Flip paper over so the pattern you want on the outside is face up. Place glue on 3 outside edges of one of the inner scored panels. Do not apply glue on the edge next to the center score line.

Step 4

Press the center panels together so they adhere together.

Step 5

Punch the folded edge twice with the word window punch. Insert the cardstock halfway into the punch and punch about ½" from each side edge.

Step 6

Punch a notch in the center using the ¾" circle punch.

Step 7

Insert gift card. If it doesn't fit, go back with the word window punch and make the slot larger by punching closer to the edge.

Step 8

Ink tree stamp with Old Olive. Stamp on the Whisper White cardstock.

Step 9

Punch out the tree ornaments with the 1/16" and 1/8" punches.

Highlight various elements of the tree using the Summer Sun and Creamy Caramel markers.

Step 11

Mount the tree onto the Real Red cardstock.

Step 12

Tie the red grosgrain ribbon around the gift card holder.

Step 13

Place adhesive on the back top and bottom edges of the Real Red cardstock. This will allow the ribbon to slide back and forth. Place over the ribbon.
