- 4" x 5-1/4" from Crushed Curry Card Stock
- 3-1/4" x 3-7/8" of multicolored presents on white background from Party Animal Designer Series Paper, cut so that the presents are upright horizontally across the paper (the 3-7/8" direction)

Adhere the designer paper rectangle to the top of the large Crushed Curry rectangle. Leave about 1/16" of Crushed Curry Card Stock showing on the top, left, and right sides.
Open the Candle Border Punch. Slide the strip of Pacific Point Card Stock into the punch so one long edge is up against the back of the punch and the card stock is centered side to side. Punch. Slide the card stock to the left or right and line the punched out candles up over the same candles printed in silver on the base of the punch. Punch. Slide the card stock the other direction, line up the punched out candles with the silver candles printed on the base of the punch and punch again.
Carefully cut off a couple of candles on one side of the punched strip using the Stampin' Trimmer. Cut between two candles.
Cut off the other side of the punched candle strip using the Stampin' Trimmer so the strip is 3-7/8" wide.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to add adhesive to the back of the punched candle strip along the bottom and edges and SNAIL along the top and adhere the punched candle strip to the bottom of the Crushed Curry rectangle. Leave about 1/16" of Crushed Curry Card Stock showing on the sides and bottom.
Adhere the strip of Tangerine Tango across the seam between the designer paper and the punched candle strip.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of Emerald Envy 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.
