Turn the \u201cVacay\u201d pocket from the Travel Log Pocket Embellishments around and adhere it to the card as shown. Mount the red location tag on top of the pocket as shown.<\/p>\n\n Step 6:<\/strong> Use lowercase stickers from the Black Sans Serif ABC\/123 Sticker pack to create the words \u201cfor you\u201d on the blue and white tag.
