1.  Cut card stock: Naturals Ivory (you can use Very Vanilla if you prefer) 5 ½" x 8 ½", fold in half to create 4 ¼" x 5 ½" base, Cherry Cobbler 4" x 5 ¼", Very Vanilla 4 ¼" x 5 ½"

2.  Rub Embossing Buddy over the piece of Very Vanilla.  Stamp in Versamark with the section of the Christmas Collage stamp you want to use.  Sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and melt with Heat Tool.  Trim piece to 3 ¾" x 4 ½".  I waited to trim to the final size so I would be sure to get the part of the image I wanted.

3.  Sponge color on the image, using the 3 colors to create a pleasant pattern.  When finished with the color, wipe the piece with a Kleenex or napkin to remove ink from the embossed image.

4.  Adhere the image piece to the Cherry Cobbler mat, with the left margin at 1/8" and the right margin at 5/8" (just enough room for the Crochet Trim).

5.  Cut a 17" piece of Victoria Crochet Trim.  Tie around the Cherry Cobbler cardstock and make a bow.  Use Mini Glue Dots or Sticky Strip to adhere trim to card stock.

6.  With Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp a small design on a Mini Vintage Tag.  I used an image from Tiny Tags.  Remove the thread from the tag and attach to the Crochet Trim bow with a Vintage Trinkets safety pin.
