I made a gate fold card with interlocking flaps.
I stamped and heat embossed the large sentiment on the middle flap.
I used twine for the dangling beads and iron bike charm, and a dark blue organza ribbon for the tag and on the hidden paperclip.
As I used a magnet the paperclip can be moved and reused elsewhere.
I followed the tutorial "Hidden Paper Clip Tutorial - Easiest Ever" by The Artful Addict .
The tag and little booklet are inserted in the pocket on the right side.
Each page of the little book has stamped words, showing in the last photo: "Happiness is enjoying the present ...".
The white spaces are filled with die cut stars.
