Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the 5-1/2″ x 7-1/4″ Berry Burst cardstock at the 3″ score line to create your base case.
- Fold the 1-1/4″ x 4″ strip of Berry Burst cardstock at the 1″ score line. Glue the strip onto the inside of the card (see sample for placement) so that the score line is lined up with the edge of the card.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock inside the card. This will cover the 1″ arm that is glued to the inside of the card.
- Cut 3/4″ off one side of the Meandering Meadows Paper, leaving you 3/4″ x 5-1/4″ and 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces. Adhere the 3/4″ strip on this inside of the card, lining up at the edge of the Vanilla cardstock. Adhere the 2-3/4″ piece on the outside flap of the card front.
- Using the 2-3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the sentiment at the bottom of the cardstock using Black Memento Ink. Using the same ink, stamp the nest above the sentiment.
- Color in the nest using the Crumb Cake, Tahitian Tide. and Lemon Lime Twist Blends.
- Adhere the Vanilla cardstock to the Berry Burst 3″ square. With the 1-1/2″ Berry Burst “arm” folded into the inside of the card, adhere the Berry Burst Square to the “arm”. Open the card again and now fold the card so the nest is on the outside of the card.
