Assembly instructions
Here’s a diagram to make it easier to understand. The height of the card is 5-3/4″. I must confess that with my limited knowledge of drawing in “Word” I couldn’t add the width measurement to the side of the diagram so this is the best I can do. Hope that helps!
——— Score on dashed lines
______ Cut on solid blue lines
- Align 2nd score line in the cutting groove of paper trimmer with the 2″ (5 cm) mark and cut, repeat for opposite side as pictured above. Then align bottom of 1st score line and cut corner off to create a triangular piece on panel 1. Repeat for opposite side to mirror the triangle on panel 4. When the card is closed, it will resemble a diamond shape.
- Stamp the lily pad in Pretty Peacock ink on Pretty Peacock card stock, die cut stamped image with Lily Pad dies plus an extra lily pad blank.
- Stamp largest lotus flower outline in Melon Mambo on Whisper White scrap. Clean and reverse stamp and then stamp solid image over previously stamped Melon Mambo image (it won’t align exactly) with Grapefruit Grove ink. Die cut stamped image, and die cut a second lotus flower in Grapefruit Grove card stock.
- Die cut Grapefruit Grove strip with the fancy Lily Pad border die.
- Adhere Pretty Peacock layer to centre panel.
- Adhere Grapefruit Grove die cut border to Whisper White layer at the top and adhere to Pretty Peacock layer.
