Instructions:

1. Card front: Place a blank card with the fold on your left. Cut 1 ½” from the bottom of the front panel only, and along the fold.
2. Die-cut two botanical frame die-cuts from white cardstock, and save one for the inside. Set one die-cut on the center of 5”x5” white cardstock and lightly trace around the outer edges of the die-cut. Remove the die-cut and use the daubers to apply yellow ink to the center of the cardstock piece. Apply a ring of orange, next, blending the two colors, then pink, continuing to the outer edges of the cardstock. Glue the die-cut centered over the inked cardstock and cut the cardstock to mat with a 1/16” border. Foam tape the piece centered on the front panel of your cutaway card. Using yellow, pink and orange twine, hold the twine together and tie a small bow. Zot™ on, as shown.
3. Card inside: Place the bottom left corner of the saved die-cut over the upper right corner of your card and use Post-its® to mask the left and bottom edges of the die-cut. Use daubers to apply ink through the cut out areas of the die-cut. Remove the “stencil” and Post-its®. Place “Thank You” Dazzles™ on a 4 ¼”x7/8” white cardstock. Use the daubers to ink a 5”x1 ½” white cardstock with pink and orange and use this to mat the Dazzles™ greeting piece, with a 1/16” border. Foam tape centered, ¼” from the bottom of your card.
