Dries clear adhesive
Measurements:
Main card: 6 x 11
Folds to: 6 x 7 1/4
Large Panel: 5 3/4 x 7

Gingham for Small Panels: 3 1/4 x 5 1/2
Instructions:
1. Mount all tulip heads onto support cardstock and
detail trim.
2. Mount one SMALL tulip stem onto cardstock and detail trim.
3. Detail trim the remaining stems.
4. Layer on the cardstock and decorative paper onto each panel.
5. Layer on the sayings.
6. Position the large stem on the front of the card. Be sure
you like your placement before you place the stem down.
7. With the card closed, position the small tulip stem onto the main
card.
8. Using the 1/8 inch pop dots, position on the tulip heads.
Remember that the pop dots will not stick to the velvet, so your placement
of the dots is important. You may wish to put the dots onto the
paper first and then position the head onto the pop dot.
9. For the interior cluster, place the higher, innermost stem onto
the main card. Then, position the second stem onto the card with the
1/16 pop dots.
10. Again position the tulip heads onto the main card with the 1/8
inch pop dots. ****On the sample card, the Aztec Gold tulip head
that is in the center has no pop dots (there is no place to attach them to
the card). So, use a couple dots of dries clear adhesive to glue the
head to the other velvet.
11. This is a fun, Springy card!! It works great as a tabletop
display too!! Enjoy it!!

Stamps by: Tie by Heartlooms; Sayings by misc. companies
Supplies needed:
Double stick tape or glue

Main card: 7 x 9
Folds to: 4 1/2 x 7
Gingham Panel: 4 1/4 x 6 3/4
Tie Card with the ties "open" from main card
Tie Card Inside/Inside...
Instructions:
First of all, this card is a little "funky"! Marlean said she wanted something different in the way of folding the card. So, this is what worked out. Each tie will go on its own supporting panel and then that panel will attach to the back of the main card. Then, the sayings on the ties are sideways compared to the rest of the card! We will give more details in the instructions below. If you have questions, please let us know.
1. Place the velvet ties on the support panel and
detail trim as shown. Cut the cardstock off until you get to just
under the knot of the tie. At that point, just cut at an angle to
the edge of the panel.
2. Place the gingham onto the main card.
3. Complete the inside of the card. There are several
different sayings included for you to choose from. There are also
layering papers included. The plain white panel is for a signature
card. You can see the example above.
4. Tape or glue the tie panels to the back of the main card.
The folds will line up perfectly.
5. Tape or glue your sayings on the insides of the ties and on the
main card (if desired).
6. Have fun with this funky card!!

****NOTE: The panels "look" like they would be perfectly square, but they are not.****
1. Tape the individual cards together to form an
accordion card.
2. Place all the ice cream and cherry images onto support cardstock

the white. Otherwise, the layering papers are included in the packet
with the white velvet pieces. *****The cones are NOT on cardstock.***
3. Place the decorative paper onto the main card panels.
4. Prepare your saying panels.
5. Lay everything onto your panels before you attach anything.
Then, you will be easier able to get proper placement. ***The triple
scooper panel is the only one that requires "squeezing" everything
on. The cone is off the the decorative paper to the bottom, and the
cherry stem is a bit over the top of the panel.
6. Tape on the sayings.
7. Start attaching the images with the cone first. It is
directly down on the card.
8. Using dries clear adhesive, glue on the bottom-most scoop on the
triple scooper panel.
9. Then, using 1/16 inch pop dots, attach the small scoop
pieces.
10. Using the 1/8 inch pop dots, attach the large scoop pieces.
