*** When cutting DSP, try to cut one 3-3/4” x 2-1/2” piece the same design as top portion of 5-1/4” x 4” DSP.  This way when you close the card, it appears to be the same picture.  The second piece of 3-3/4” x 2-1/2” DSP should be cut sideways from the first piece, since it will be perpendicular to the first piece.
 
Assembly
1.       Score 11” x 4-1/4” Soft Suede card stock at 2-3/4” and 5-1/2”.  Fold to the back on 2-3/4” score line; fold to the front on 5-1/2” score line, creating a “Z” shape card.


2.       On inside (5-1/2” x 4”) panel, adhere Night of Navy card stock; adhere DSP over card stock.
3.       Cut white card stock with 2-3/8” x 1-1/16” Stitched Rectangle.  Stamp sentiment with Night of Navy ink; stamp dots with Copper Ink.  Adhere to 2-1/5” x 1-3/16” Night of Navy card stock.  Fold top panels half-way down and use as a guide to adhere sentiment to DSP with Foam Tape or Stampin’ Dimensionals.
4.       Adhere 4” x 2-1/2” Night of Navy card stock to top panel; adhere 3-3/4” x 2-1/4” DSP over card stock.  This piece should match top part of inside DSP.  See *** above.
5.       Adhere 4” x 2-1/2” Night of Navy card stock to center panel.


6.       Adhere second piece of DSP to last piece of 4” x 2-1/2” piece of Night of Navy card stock.  This piece should be cut perpendicular to the first piece in Step 4.  See *** above.  Apply Foam Tape or Stampin’ Dimensionals to back (top half only) of this piece.  Fold top portion half-way down and carefully line up to cover sentiment.  Remove backing from foam and adhere to top panel.
7.       Use Liquid Glue to adhere bouquet pieces to the piece created in Step 6.  For the sample, I applied a thin line of liquid glue to just the stem of the vellum pieces and adhere them first.  Second, I applied a few tiny drops of liquid glue to the twigs and adhered them over the vellum pieces.  Third, I applied dots of Liquid Glue to the berries on the copper element and adhered it on top of the other pieces.
8.       Hold the Linen Thread and Copper Metallic Thread together and make a loopy bow.  Adhere over the bouquet with a Glue Dot behind the knot.


Confusing?  Hopefully, the photos will make a little clearer.  This would make a great Thanksgiving card!  It can be stood up as shown in the photo as a reminder of how much you care!
 
Hope you have enjoyed these cards!  I always have way more fun than I should creating and assembling these cards!
