Distress all the sides using sharp scissors and mat the paper on the ready card base using an adhesive that dries clear.
Choose the coordinating paper from the designer paper collection, measuring 7" by 5". Distress the edges with sharp scissors and mat it on white cardstock, creating a white border of 1/16" on all the sides. Finally, layer this on the ready card panel using foam tape and add ribbon.
