Xara Xone May 2003 tutorial - Pages in a book

Place the ribbon and flower symbol over a duplicate of the original rectangle (shown here 1/2 size) Group the ribbon and symbol and rectangle. Copy and Paste the envelope (covered on Page 4) to the shapes and stretch the envelope to the original size.

NOTE: Another interesting "feature" (not a bug mind you), is when you close the file and reopen it, the fills on the ribbon will no longer be at the correct angle. Also the bevel may resemble a dog's breakfast (not a pretty sight).

Convert to Editable Shapes (Arrange menu) and Ungroup. Adjust the fill on the top shape of the ribbon, copy it (Ctrl c), and Paste Attributes (Edit > Paste Attributes or Shift Ctrl a ) to the other shapes. If needed, ungroup the bevel, delete the bevel (but keep the flower symbol), and apply a new bevel. Now you should be OK.
