Instructions
1. Trim navy cardstock to 9 ¼” x 5 ½”.
2. To create a tri-fold card, score the card at 3 ¼” and 7 ½”.
3. Fold the card with the large flap over the smaller flap.
4. Trim green gingham paper to 1 ½” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the bottom flap of the card.
5. Trim butterfly garden paper to 3” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the top flap of the card.
6. Print your desired greeting onto white cardstock (the sample greeting was found on www.dMarie.com).
7. Trim the greeting to desired size leaving additional space to add the silk flower accent.
8. Mat the greeting with navy cardstock.
9. Secure flower with a mini brad to the side of the greeting. Add a loop of grosgrain ribbon under the flower as a leaf.
10. Adhere the greeting to the top flap of the card, overlapping the green gingham. (Tip: when adding your adhesive in this step, apply the adhesive to the edge of the flap instead of the greeting – this will keep any extra adhesive off the green gingham paper)
11. Print an additional greeting on white cardstock and trim to 3 ¼” x 5 ¼” and adhere inside the card.
