The ready top fold card from the smooth white cardstock measures, 7″ by 7″. To prepare the top panel, choose the pattern paper from the designer paper collection and cut it to size measuring 6 3/4″ by 6 3/4 ″. Score each time at 1/8" and cover the entire panel. Layer the panel on white cardstock, making a delicate border of 1/8" on all sides. Finally, layer the prepared card front on the card panel using foam dots.
Cut the frames from green paper using the outer first and the third die of Simple Centerpiece Collection. Layer it on the frame cut from Luxe Gold cardstock using the first and the fourth die of the same set. Next, cut one each white and gold die cut using Simply Elegant Centerpiece Die and glue them together keeping the gold one on the bottom. Finally, glue the die cut behind the layered window created using the Simple Centerpiece die.
