Center Fold Card with Directions!

I need to apologize to readers who have been waiting for details on this lovely card originally posted on November 19, 2021. Yes, I’m embarrassed. And when I began this post I discovered that I had prepared all the steps and done the photos way back when! So, here we are and here we go. Although this stamp set and card stock color and Designer Series Paper (DSP) are now retired you can use (almost) any stamp set/card stock/DSP to recreate the design. Got for it!

Pop the ‘wreath’ out from the solid piece of card stock and pop the middle segment out as well. Be sure to poke out all the little bits along the borders. You can see the ones I hadn’t yet popped out on the left. Attach the ‘wreath’ to a 2-7/8″ x 1-3/8″ piece of Basic White card stock. (See photo below). Stamp your greeting using Soft Succulent ink on that Basic White card stock.
