Step 1 of 16

Cut this sheet of decorative paper, from the paper stack, to 7 3/4 x 5" and set the remaining paper to one side for later. 

Step 2 of 16

Place the black card on the bottom of your decorative paper, mark and cut, to create a pocket, as shown here. 

Step 3 of 16

Using some the remaining paper you set aside earlier, mark and trim it, so its slightly smaller than the black pocket, then adhere in place.

Set any paper that's left to one side. 

Step 4 of 16

Apply double sided adhesive tape down the 2 sides and along the bottom. 

Step 5 of 16

Adhere to the bottom of your trimmed, decorative paper. 

Step 6 of 16

Adhere to the front of your black, top folding card blank and set to one side. 

Step 7 of 16

Take this sheet from the vellum pack and wipe over with your anti-static bag.

Ink up the floral stamp from the collection, with the WOW embossing ink and stamp on to the vellum.

Apply the gold embossing powder over the sticky image, then once your heat tool is hot, heat set the powder, ensuring you move the tool as soon as the powder starts to turn. This will help avoid burning the powder, or warping your vellum. 

Step 8 of 16

Use the coordinating die to cut out your embossed, vellum floral element. 

Set to one side.

Step 9 of 16

Cut out the sentiment tab and butterfly, from the embellishment sheet in the paper stack. 

Step 10 of 16

Adhere the sentiment tab along the bottom of your pocket and the butterfly to it's left. 

Set your card to one side. 

Step 11 of 16

Fold up one of the coordinating envelopes, from the collection. You can add a seal at a later date, once you put your "gift" inside. 

Step 12 of 16

Adhere the embossed, vellum, floral element, on to the front of your gift envelope and set to one side. 

Step 13 of 16

Add the Stickles to the wings of your butterfly. 

Step 14 of 16

Add Stickles to the centres of the flowers, on the decorative paper, as required. 

Step 15 of 16

Cut a piece of the remaining paper in to a rectangle and adhere to the front of your black envelope. 

Use a white gel pen to draw a decorative frame around the paper panel. 

 

Step 16 of 16

Cut a smaller panel from one of the other lighter, decorative papers, from the paper stack and draw a frame around it, with a black pen, to finish.
