Instructions
For the front of the card:
1. 1) With the fold at the left, line up the bottom Lattice Folds pattern with the folded edge of the card by turning the template so the header is to the left. Trace the pattern with a pencil, then remove the template. Place the card on a cutting mat and use a ruler to make cuts on the pencil lines through both layers of the card. Open the card so the front is on top and fold the cut chevrons down. Chalk the right half of the folded portions with blue, then close the card.
2. 2) Cover the card front with blue bubbles paper. Cut a 5” square of blue scroll paper and tear along one edge. Turn the paper so the torn edge runs along the top, then glue over the blue bubbles paper, flush with the bottom edge of the card.
3. 3) Cut out and assemble one glassine envelope. Cut one 4 1/2” length each of blue grosgrain, blue/purple woven and white sheer ribbon. Lay each ribbon across the front of the envelope at diagonal angles, overlapping each other in the center. Wrap the ends of the ribbons around the edges of the envelope to secure them on the back, then add one silver mini clip at the point where all of the ribbons intersect. Cut out the small blue tag and secure it on the front of the envelope at an angle with the top of the tag resting under the silver clip. Cut out the word “Love” from the word fragments and glue it at an angle across the front of the tag, then secure the envelope at a slight angle on the lower portion of the card front.
4. 4) Cut out the quote and crop to a square shape, then mat on blue vellum and trim the mat to 1/8”. Glue the matted quote at an angle on the card front with one corner tucked inside the top of the envelope. Chalk the word block of the quote blue and the words “loving”, “loved” and “soul” purple.
5. 5) For the card inside: Cut a 3 1/2”x6 1/2” piece of blue scroll paper and glue it near the left side of the inside of the card.
6. 6) Cut out the quote and mat it on blue vellum, then trim the mat to 1/8”. Glue the matted quote just right of center on the inside of the card. Chalk the word block on the quote blue and the word “quiet” purple.
