Instructions:

1. For the card front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cut 4¾"x6¼" House of Roses bird/branch paper, positioning the bird as shown. Place the 3"x3½" rectangle die on the front so the bird is in the lower left corner and secure with repositionable tape. Place the 3¾"x4½" scalloped die on the front, centering the rectangle die in it, and secure with tape. Die cut the rectangles, then ink the edges of all the die-cuts.
2. Glue the outer die cut paper centered on the card front. Place the scalloped frame in the opening, aligning it with the cut edges, but do not glue it. Glue the remaining rectangle die-cut in the frame opening, aligning the edges, then remove the frame.
3. Cut acetate to 3¼"x4⅛". Cut the foam tape in half making ¼” wide strips. Place around the edges of the acetate making a foam frame. Be sure the foam edges are straight. Place other strips on top so the frame is two foam strips thick.
4. Place double-sided tape on both sides of the foam frame. Adhere the scalloped House of Roses die-cut frame onto the acetate side of the frame, making sure the foam edges are hidden. Place a teaspoon of Sparkletz in the center of the bird rectangle, then remove the very largest crystals. Carefully place the scalloped frame onto the card, aligning the cut edges with the edges of the opening.
5. Place gold “sending love” Dazzles™ on the acetate window as shown. Use the Extra Sticky tape to adhere the large butterfly die-cut over the lower right frame corner and a 1" pink rose and small butterfly die-cut at the upper left.
6. For the inside: Cut 4½"x6" House of Roses border paper with the border on the left and ink the edges. Glue it centered inside. Cut out the clock cutout, ink the edges, and glue it in the center. Place gold “miss you” Dazzles™ across the top of the clock, then glue the two rose cluster die-cuts as shown.
