Instructions:
1. Score valley folds first starting with the centre.

2. Stamp images in areas between the folds.  Emboss if desired.
* Butterflies - bottom right of section "a"
* Flowers - centre top of section "b"
* Verse - centre of section "c"
* Flowers - centre bottom of section "d"
* Stars -  Flow them like a ribbon up and down to meet the stamp images.

3. Score mountain folds that will intersect the images.
The mountain folds are usually scored on the reverse of the paper but in this case, in order to see where you are placing the score, do it from the top.  Position the card so that the scoring bar runs under the butterflies as shown in the above illustration (1” to the right of the first valley fold).  Start scoring from the top and continue until you touch the stamped image. Do not score over the image.  Lift the scoring tool and jump over the image.  If you have to score somewhere in the centre of the image (as in the case of this stamp), press your finger against the scoring bar to make a dent in the paper and lock the tool onto this ridge to complete the score.  Continue to score in this method until the score is complete from top to bottom of the paper.  Repeat for the two other flower stampings.  

4. With craft knife, cut along the yellow lines from fold to fold.
5. Colour and add glitter where desired. 
6. Fold card to assemble and stamp “Thank You” across top of folded card, positioning the  fold between the two words.   Enjoy!
