- 2 scraps of Lovely Lipstick Cardstock each at least 3/4" square
Slide the upper right corner of the white rectangle into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that punches the trio of pointy ovals on top of the small dot. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch.
Slide the punched, upper right corner of the white rectangle into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that corner rounds. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch.

Mount the "'tis the season" sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad. Stamp it on Grid Paper to make sure it is straight and right side up. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it in the lower left corner of the punched white rectangle.
Pick out one of the filigree corner dies from the Detailed Deer Dies. Put it on top of the open Call Me Clover Ink Pad and press it firmly into the ink pad. Lift it off the ink pad and place it on the upper left corner of the punched and stamped white rectangle. Press down firmly. Repeat with the lower right corner after re-inking the die.
Tip: To protect your fingers from ink, try using the putty tip of the Take Your Pick tool to hold onto the die.
Tip: When I'm done using the dies this way, I just rinse them under running water and then dry them off.
