3.  Place the Spring Willow (or Phoenix) paper piece on the front part of the folded Kraft Cardstock using the GlueGlider Pro+ Permatac cartridge.
 
 
4.   Next, place the Handmade Holiday strip on the bottom half of the card piece also using the Pro+.
5.  Adhere the Coconut paper piece to the Suede Brown Dark piece with the Pro+ and attach the Suede Brown Dark piece in the center of the card with the Pro+.
 
 

6.  Next, cut strips of the glitter ribbon to size and adhere to each side of the Suede Brown Dark piece covering the seams without extending over the Suede Brown Dark or Kraft Cardstock paper with the Adhesive Squares Ribbon Adhesive.    
 
            
 
                                                   
7.  Finally, stamp each message onto the Coconut paper piece, aligning it as close to the center as possible.
