Instructions for assembly appear below, or you can watch the video tutorial (see link below).

1. Fold Old Olive card stock at scoreline to create card base.
2. Adhere white “Summertime” card stock to card front.  (NOTE:  This piece was created on my computer with Word.  I used the “Curlz MT” font and just played with it until I got the size and position I wanted.)
3. Adhere patterned paper over white card stock.  (IMPORTANT NOTE:  Paper is 4” wide and 3-3/4” tall; if it’s attached the wrong direction it will not fit between “Summertime” and “Fun time!”)
4. Use embossing folder to add texture to 3-1/4” x 3” white card stock; center and adhere over patterned paper.
5. Adhere one watermelon slice to embossed card stock as shown; use foam tape or hexagons to attach second watermelon slice over first.  (NOTE:  The watermelon slices were created by scanning a larger image into my computer, reducing the size and then printing and cutting them out of white card stock.)
6. Punch butterflies from patterned paper.  Use glue dots or liquid glue to adhere centers of butterflies as shown; attach glitter stickers (larger for large butterfly; smaller for small butterfly) in a row down the centers.

7. Adhere blank white card stock to inside.
8. Adhere small watermelon slices in corner.

Fun stuff!  Hope you enjoy this card.
