Instructions:
-
Cut 8 pieces of cardstock 4-1/2 x 3-1/2 for the frames and attach 4 of them together using 4-1/2" x 1" strips scored in the middle.
-
On the back of the frames that you just assembled mark the center of each frame and attach a 4-1/2" x 1" strip on each frame to hold the center frame. Once the glue has set, attach the second set of frames that you made to clean up the back.
-
Next cut 8 of the middle die in the Labels One set and attach to each side of the strips in the center of each frame making relief cuts half way through each strip so the center panel will twist in the desired direction.
-
Complete the panels with Decorative Labels One die cuts and decorate as desired. Do not forget to add lots of flowers!

What a beautiful card to be displayed on your loved ones desk, sofa table or nightstand! The frame inside a frame is a uniquely special fold and will sure to bring pleasure from every viewing angle! I love the flowers that can be tailored to the color palette and season of the year. The occasions that this card can be given on are numerous...birthdays, weddings, sympathy, thinking of you or encouragement!

I would like to make this card but I find the instructions are not very clear. Would it be possible to have some pictures of each step.
