  1. Cut the white cardstock to 1” x 3” strips, then score along the 3” side at the following measurements;
         1 5/16”
         1 3/8”
         2 1/8”

    Press with the bone folder to crease them. Then, with the Manual Die Cut machine and the embossing folder run the 1” x 3” strips through until your desired amount is embossed. We made 18 total, but feel free to do more or less!

  2. With the largest spot on the 1” x 3” white embossed strip, add one Glue Dots® All-Purpose Dot to the edge, and place on the underside of the Nugget.
  3. Fold the small flap around the nugget and add a bit of the Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape to close the cardstock around the nugget. Repeat for each of the 18 nuggets.
  4. Using a mix of Glue Dots® add the layers of the bouquet to together.
  5. Add the now assembled bouquet to the tag using Glue Dots® All-Purpose Dots.
  6. Add some Glue Dots® GlueTape along the sentiment banner and attach it to the tag.

  7. With the twine, thread some trough the hole of the tag. Trim it to the size you’d like.

  8. With the remaining flowers, use the Glue Dots® Micro Dots to glue the flower centers.
  9. Once they have their centers, use a Glue Dots® All-Purpose Dot to stick to the embossed white cardstock.

  10. Fill the cup and the saucer with the covered nugget treats.
  11. Place in the cellophane bag and tie off with curling ribbon. Tie the tag to the bag, then use the gift ribbon the tie a bow. Adjust the bow to how you like it and soon you will have a Mother’s Day treat that all Moms will love!
