Glue the white front onto the folded down half of the right side of base matching bottoms of base and card front. Glue the decorative paper onto the front. For the inside, cut about 1/4" off the top of decorative paper to avoid center score then glue it to the inside.
From light gold color cardstock cut the decorative dies (the inside uses the small outer die for the sentiment along with the large and the front uses the small decorative part along with the large), cut a small tag from Ornamental Tags. Glue the large onto both the front and inside. Glue the decorative small in the center of the front.
Stamp the sentiment using Rich Cocoa on tag and on solid small light gold piece. Glue the light gold piece to the center of inside. Glue a small bow to the top of the tag and set aside.
