Detailed
Instructions:
1.
Fold a
8.5" x 5.5" piece of white card stock
in half to create a 4.25" x 5.5" card. This is a quarter-fold
card and will be the card
base. From one sheet of 8.5" x 11" card stock you can make
two
cards.
2. Cut a patterned sheet of paper to 4" x 5.25".
Glue this mat to the
front of the card.

Using the Storybook cartridge, load the white paper on
a mat. You want to cut the black-out frame first.
To select
this, press the "thank you" button (button 44). Then press
the "accent blackout" special feature button. Cut
at size 2.75".

Load the teal paper on to a mat.
To cut the thank you in the frame, once again press the
"thank
you" button (button 44). Then press the "accent/frame"
special
feature button. Cut this at size 2.75".
Assemble the card by
gluing all the components on the front
