4. Add accents and dots to the Christmas Stars with a gold paint pen. Adhere a gold gemstone to the center of the large Christmas Star with liquid adhesive.
5. Die-cut out of blue and white cardstock the Peace phrase from the Dove set. Adhere with liquid adhesive the blue word to the white word, slightly offsetting the words.

8. Cut a 5 1/2" x 9" piece of green cardstock, and fold in half to create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base. Cut a 5 1/2" piece of white polka-dot ribbon, and wrap the ribbon around the center of the card front. Adhere the ends of the ribbon to the back side of the card with liquid adhesive.

Cut off the excess twine with scissors, and adhere the ends to the back side of the card with liquid adhesive. Cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of kraft patterned paper. Adhere the kraft patterned paper to the back side of the card with double-sided tape.
