Assembly:

1. First, fold the white card base accordion style so that you have three panels, with the 1″ strip showing on the top of the stack.
2. Attach the 1” strip to the 3 x 4.5” Basic White cardstock, which will be the first panel of your card. Cut the excess on the 1″ strip above the 3 x 4.5″ basic off.
3. Adhere the two smaller designer paper pieces to the front of the card and the first inside panel.
4. Adhere the two medium-size designer paper pieces to the second and third inside panels.
5. Adhere the 5” x 4.25” designer paper to the fourth inside panel.
6. Adhere the message pieces to the first, third and fourth inside panels with your adhesive. Be sure to adhere the Happy Birthday label more toward the left side of the fourth inside panel so it won’t show with the card closed.
7. Adhere the oval diecut Mercury Acetate to the second inside panel
8. Note: For the small hydrangea cluster label, cut the Highland Heather light purple label in half to layer it behind the stamped white label.
9. Adhere the leaf detail diecuts to the leaf diecuts using liquid glue.
10. Adhere the Hydrangea flower diecuts to the plain floral outline diecuts.
11. Use dimensionals to apply the Highland Heather hydrangea to the second panel.
12. Cut one branch of leaves apart for the second panel. Adhere it under your light purple flower pieces and adhere to second panel.
13. Adhere the full branch and dark purple floral pieces to the fourth inside panel.
14. Adhere the stamped white oval to the dark purple oval and use pop dots to place it on the card front.
15. Add two small hydrangea petals to each side of your label. Add Pastel Pearls.
