Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to acrylic blocks.
Take the 2 pieces of DSP and holding them together, cut at 2 ¾” on the long side.
Add the the 2 ¾” piece of DSP to the top of the white panel centering on sides and top. The flowered DSP goes on the Lost Lagoon card and the Pretty Peacock DSP goes on the Petal Pink card .
Take the 2 ¼” piece of flowered DSP and working on the back of the DSP, make a mark at the middle (1 7/8”) of the bottom (the longer side). Using the mark you made in the middle, measure up ¾” and make a mark. Repeat on the 2 ¼” piece of Lost Lagoon DSP.
Use Paper Snips to make a banner by cutting from the corner up to the mark you made in the center. Repeat on the other side. Do this with the other piece of DSP.
Add the banner pieces from Step 5 to the White panel butting the top of the bottom dsp to the dsp glued onto the White panel. The flowered goes on the panel with the Pretty Peacock and vice versa.
Attach a piece of the Gold 1/8” trim to the White panel using the trim to cover the seam where the 2 DSP’s meet. Secure the trim on the back with Tear & Tape. Repeat with the other White panel.
Glue the White panel to each card base. The flowered top panel goes onto the Lost Lagoon card base. The Lost Lagoon top panel goes onto the Petal Pink card base.
Stamp the sentiment on the Lost Lagoon panel of each card base using Pretty Peacock ink.
Tie a bow and add with a glue dot to the left side of each card base.
Add some Brass Butterflies to the Lost Lagoon panel of dsp.
Stamp and decorate the remaining 4” x 5 1/4″ Basic White for the inside and attach with Stampin’ Seal.
Decorate your envelope.
Lovely! Now send it to someone special.
