Glue it to the center and then make a thin from with the rectangles from Hand-stitched Accent die, use the yellow print paper.  Glue 4 white corners to the tag.  Cut 2 tags from decorative paper using Tickets and tags and the Album Tags dies…glue them together and cut 2 lavender hole re-enforcers for each side.  Add a lavender brad to each hole and purple floss to one side.  Sponge adhesive over flowers on tag and sprinkle with glitter.  Stamp quilt pieces using Tiger Lily, Sunflower, Magenta Hue, and Leaf Green.  Arrange pieces over white embossed panel and glue down then glue die cut tags over the top.  Note card/tag is finished, insert it into the curved pocket on the front of card.
Inside of card:  Cut a piece of yellow print 6 1/2 X 4 3/4" and glue to the inside.  Cut a strip of quilted decorative paper and glue to the top leaving a 1/4" yellow border.  Make the short pocket from the flipfold inserts and cover with a piece of decorative paper 1 3/4 X 6”.  Glue 2 white corners to the bottom corners of pocket and glue tabs to card inside toward the bottom leaving 1/4" yellow border at the bottom.  This pocket can be used for money or gift card.  Add a button to the center of pocket.  Cut out the “A Gift For You” tag from white and from decorative paper then glue to the center top of inside.  Cut out another small tag from decorative paper use another lavender hole re-enforcer and more purple floss to finish the tag.  Glue it to the left side of “A Gift For You” to finish card.
