Instructions
  1. Cut the lavender patterned cardstock in half so that each piece measures 5.5 x 8.5. Using the paper trimmer and scoring blade, score a line down the center of the card. Fold in half with the green to the outside to form a quarter sheet card. The card should measure 5.5 x 4.25. Each sheet will make two cards.
  2. Use the paper trimmer to cut a 3.5 square of white cardstock and a 2” square of lavender cardstock.
  3. Use the border punch to punch a design at the center of each side of the white square. Trim the straight edge away then punch a flower design at each corner with the 3 in 1 punch.
  4. Emboss a flower design at the center of the lavender square.
  5. Attach the lavender square to the center of the white then attach to the front of the card as shown with foam dots at each corner. Wrap fiber around the edge if desired.
  6. Use the template and shape cutter to cut a matching envelope. Emboss a matching flower on the front of the envelope then assemble the envelope as shown. Use the border punch to create an additional design at the center of the envelope flap.
    TIP: Glue flowers created by the punch to the front of the card and/or envelope if desired.
