Step 1:   
Cut a Piece of the pink knit side of theUCP2986 Where The Heart Is paper to bigger than the second largest arches die. Tape the UCMM1791 Festive Tidings Stencil over the top and sponge some Pumice Stone ink to the centre, and then add some Seedless Preserves around it - see image 1

      Step 2:   
Using the second largest UCD2070 Stitched Arches Die to cut out the shape – see image 2. Mat onto white cardstock cut using the second largest of the UCD2205 Scalloped Arches Die.

Step 3:   
Die cut another Scalloped Arch from the green patterned side of the UCP2988 Hearth & Heart paper using the largest of the UCD2070 Stitched Arches. Set the prepared arches aside.

Step 4:
Cut a 12.5cm square of the green knit side of the UCP2989 paper and attach it to the front of a white 14cm square card base. Attach the green die cut arch to the left side of the card front leaving a thin slice of the green knit paper showing. From the UCE2129 A4 Creative Paper – Festive Music, cut a 5.5cm square from the large floral spray and attach this to the top right of the card leaving a thin border of the green knit showing and slightly down from the top of the green arch. Attach the prepared pink arch to the centre of the green arch using 3D foam.

Step 6:
Glue the large bauble to the centre of the pink arch and replace the bottom detail with the tassle – see image 4. Attach the remaining two baubles.
