crop, cut, assemble, adhere & embellish:

• Burnish the fold of the card base with a Bone Folder.
• Use a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) to crop the sentiment with the coordinating die.
• Use a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) to crop the floral die-cut from the center of the 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White Cardstock. Repeat by cropping the same die from Pretty in Pink and Soft Sea Foam cardstock.
  ​Tip: Keep the die-cut pieces in order as you remove them—this will make assembly much easier.
• Adhere the 3 x 4 piece of Basic White Cardstock to the back of the die-cut piece with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
• Insert and adhere the Pretty in Pink and Soft Sea Foam die-cut pieces into the openings as shown using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  ​Tip: A Take Your Pick Tool (Putty Tip) is helpful for placing the small pieces while keeping glue off your fingers.

• Layer and adhere the two Basic White panels together using Stampin' Dimensionals.
• Wrap the layered panel with White Baker’s Twine, tying a bow. Adhere the panel to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.
• Adhere the sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals.
  ​Tip: Cut the Dimensionals in half and place them on each side of the Baker’s Twine to create a small trough. This allows the sentiment to sit evenly over the twine.

envelope:

• Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/4 Designer Series Paper to a Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Tip: Add glue to the flap, not the Designer Series Paper.
