Instructions (Print version)

Wreath on Door Card
1. Create 4” x 5” base card from cardstock. Round right edges with Fiskars Round the Bend Corner punch.
2. Use Fiskars Block Party squeeze punch, and your Fiskars trimmer, to create “door panels” for your base cardstock.
3. To create the wreath for the door, start with the Fiskars Seal of Approval squeeze punch…this will create the base for your wreath.

4. Punch 8 hearts from cardstock using Fiskars My Funny Valentine squeeze punch. Fold each heart in half, and use adhesive to adhere to another heart. Arrange 4 “sets” of hearts on the base cardstock, forming a 3-D wreath. Attach ribbon bow to center using a glue dot.
5. Punch “berries” using Fiskars ¼ inch Circle punch.
6. Create sentiment for lower right section of card using Fiskars Tag You’re It squeeze punch. Adhere with brads.
