Directions:
1. Using the paper cutter, cut the 8 1/2” x 11” paper in half to create two cards 8 ½” x 5 ½”. Score in the middle using the Simply Scored to create the fold.
2. Cut 3 pieces of 2 ½” x 1 ¾” and 1 piece of 2 ½” x 2 ½” white cardstock, a 3” x 3” piece of Marina Mist and a 5” x 3 ¾” piece of Early Espresso cardstock using the paper cutter.
3. Take the 3 piece of 2 ½” x 1 ¾” white cardstock and stamp the ornament shape from the Tags Til Christmas set on each piece in Real Red Ink.
4. Using the Ornament punch, cut the 3 stamped pieces out.
5. Using the Simply Scored, score each stamped piece in the centre to create a fold.
6. Glue the 3 stamped pieces together back to back on the folded sides with snail adhesive to create the 3-D ornament. Using a small piece of the twine, create an ornament hook and attach with the snail adhesive.
7. Mount the 2 ½’ x 2 ½” piece of white cardstock on the cut piece of Marina Mist. Centre the 3-D ornament in the centre of the white cardstock and mount with snail adhesive.
8. Mount the Early Espresso on the white card front with snail adhesive. Add the mounted ornament in the top half.
9. Stamp a greeting on the inside of the card in Early Espresso using the Many Merry Messages Set.

A few notes:
To clean the stamp off, spray the wet side (look for the rain drops) of the Stampin’ Scrub with Stampin’ Mist, then dry on the other side (look for the small umbrella)
