STEP 5 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD

Now that all layers have been cut, you can assemble this card.

Begin by gently folding along the score lines of the pop up layer. I start from the top down.

Start with the top horizontal fold.

Press with your scraper.

Now, the fold along the top of the text. Do this carefully to prevent tearing.

Next, the fold lines along the center of the card. These are two folds on either side of the text.

Finally, the fold line along the bottom of the text.

Your pop-up layer should look like this.

Fold the layer up and press with your scraper.

Next, fold the outer card layer along the score line.

Press with your scraper.

Add glue or adhesive to the back of the pop-up layer.

Place inside the outer card layer and press into place. Make sure to line up your score lines.

Repeat for the other side of the card and press the card closed.

Now, add adhesive to the back of the cutout layer.

Apply that to the panel layer.

Add beads of glue to the two "A's", "O", and "D".

Place the cutouts on the glue.

Add glue or adhesive to the back of the panel layer.

Place on the front of the outer card layer making sure to center it.

STEP 6 - ASSEMBLE YOUR ENVELOPE

Your envelope will come in three pieces.

Begin by folding along the score lines for all layers.

Press the folds with your scraper.

Add glue or adhesive to the tabs on the side flaps.

Apply the side flaps to the main envelope layer making sure to line up the edges.

Add glue or adhesive to the bottom of the side flaps.

Bring the bottom flap up forming the envelope.

You're done! You card is ready to add your message and to mail to your recipient!
