- Attach the smallest piece of whisper white card stock and basic black card stock together. Wrap the basic black polka dot ribbon around the bottom of the card stock in #3 above and secure ends on back. Tie a piece of ¼” pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon around the black ribbon. Put a dimensional on each of the 4 corners of #3 above and attach to the center of the card.
