Wreath and bow:

Using appliqué glue, add a few dots of glue to backside of wreath and bow. Apply both to card front. Using sewing machine, stitch around wreath.

2. Using pinking paper edgers, cut two 1/4-inch x 4-1/2-inch green strips and glue 1/8-inch from each side.

At these marks, cut into the card 1-1/2-inches to form a tab. Fold tab on each side to form a crease line. Fold card in half and pop out tab. Glue to inside of card being careful not to have glue on pop-up tab.
