To create…

1 Create a 6″-square card blank from the cream cardstock.

2 Cut the Smitten Stripes paper to 6×4″, cut a ‘V’ and attach the zip.  Measure every 1/4″ and pierce holes around the edges, including the zip, and then stitch.  Attach to card with double-sided tape on three edges.

3 Stamp and emboss flowers onto Leapfrog cardstock, and the recipe and message onto cream cardstock.

4 Cut out and mould the flowers. Punch out the corners of the tags.  Ink all the edges, including around the base card.

5 Cover two clips with Smitten Stripes, tie on ribbons and attach clips to tags before popping into pocket.

6 Mould the flowers using the shaping tool, layer together and add buttons to centres then attach to card. Add three buttons to the bottom-right a shown.
