Step By Step Instructions:

We have a full set of step by step instructions describing how to create this card.

• Create 4 1⁄2 x 7 1⁄2” top folding card base out of white cardstock.
• Cut a piece of yellow cardstock to 4 1⁄2 x 7 1⁄2”, blend dark brown ink to add some interest and adhere onto the card.
• Cut a piece of dark blue cardstock to 4 1⁄2 x 7 1⁄2”, die-cut a window in the center and foam mount panel onto the card base.
• Die-cut a tag out of brown cardstock, foam mount  onto the card in the window.
• Die-cut a tag out of yellow cardstock, stamp a sentiment and foam mount onto brown tag.
