Use a paper trimmer to cut a 3-inch-tall by 4-inch-wide piece of cardstock that coordinates with the plum card base, such as white, sage green or lavender. Affix it to the top of the card base with double-sided tape, leaving a half-inch border around the sides and top.

Print a tag line on a 1/2-inch-tall by 4-inch-wide strip of cardstock in the same shade used to mat the embellishment. Use a computer and printer to output a line such as "Enjoy Good Company and Fine Wine" or "Test Your Taste Buds at Our Wine and Cheese Party" in a script or calligraphy font. Cut the strip with a paper trimmer and affix it across the bottom of the invitation, leaving a half-inch border along the sides and bottom.
