I used the #162234- Modern Oval Punch= $22.00 pg. 54 HC.
I didn't need the punch quite as big as it is, so I stamped
the words onto a 1 1/4" Basic white strip & then punch it out.
COOL HUH!
 
NOTE:  You will adhere the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4" cardstock directly onto the Balmy Blue card base.  When adhered this be sure you DO NOT ADD ADHESIVE to the center of this!  You'll now emboss this front with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder & THEN DIE cut the circle using the 2 5/8" Stylish Shapes Circle Die. 
 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
