Fold the card in half at the 5 1/2-inch creased line with the wrong side of the cardstock facing out. Along the fold- ed edge, measure andmark5/8ofan inch in from each side.

Slide the 2 3/4-by-5 1/4-inch 6 cardstock insert into the opening
as shown. Center the insert
and attach to one of the 1-inch sections, aligning to the scored edge. Note: You can decorate the insert first before inserting and attaching to the card base. Just keep in mind that the bottom 1 inch will not be seen.

Place double-stick tape along the outer 1-inch sections. On one section, run

Fold up the other side of the base and attach to the tag as shown. The tag will be sandwiched between the two sections.
