Cut the 8 1/2 X 11" cardstock down to 8 1/4 X 9 1/2"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Second step:
Fold the cardstock in half lengthwise and set aside for a moment.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Third Step:
Cut your patterned paper 2 1/2" X 9 1/2"
Then tape or glue the strip to the left side of the card along the fold. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
         
Fourth Step:
Put the 2 paper flowers together with the sugar brad and attach to the oversize tag.

Stamp the word 'smile' vertically along the top right of the card.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Seventh Step:
Place your gems along the right edge of the patterned paper.
First put your glue dots on the paper where you want the gems to be. Then using the Quick Stik, pick up each gem and place on the glue dots.
