Instructions:
Green card:
  1. Cut a 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of Foliage Designer Paper. Score at the 4 1/4" mark and fold. Trim approximately 1/2" from the right side of the card front.
  2. Stamp Happy Definition onto card with Grass Chalk Ink.
  3. Open card and position Classic Frame die inside. Use low-tack tape or post-it notes to prevent die from slipping. When running the piece through your die cutting machine, allow about 1/4" of the right hand edge of the card to hang OVER the cutting plate. The die will only cut up to the point where the plates are.
  4. Stamp message onto label with Hot Pink ink.
  5. Add washi tape along edge as shown. This will help to strengthen the flap portion so that it doesn't tear with repeated opening/closing of the card.
  6. Tie baker's twine around card as shown.
  7. Postion label flap over card front.

Pink card: Follow instructions above, substituting Carnation Layering Paper for the base. Stamp card front with Happy Definition using Soft Pink Shadow ink and with Lattice Background using Hot Pink ink.
