DirectionsThere are pictures to illustrate the folds, cutting and assembly in the tutorial linked above.

1) Using the Simply Scored or your Trimmer’s scoring blade - Score the Calypso Coral 4 1/4" x 11" cardstock at 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 6 1/2", and 7 1/2". Fold up with Valley, Mountain, Mountain, and Valley folds. Crease well. You should have a raised plateau section when done that pops up and side folds that accordion out.

2) Lay the largest die on the folded card, making sure to center it top to bottom and exactly around the mountain folds. Use post-its to hold die in place. Cut using the Big Shot.

3) Using the third largest die cut the front of card out of Naturals White 4” Square. Then using the next largest die cut a Daffodil Delight Window Frame for a mat for the first piece (4-1/2” square) (this cut differs from the tutorial instructions).

4) Stamp En Francais in Crumb Cake on the Naturals White front of the card. Then stamp the poppies in Early Espresso. Select a die shape from the several listed sets and cut a window in the first Naturals White piece. Sponge around edges with Crumb Cake ink to soften the look. Use markers to color poppies or leave monochromatic – Stamp text and any other images in the opening on the Daffodil Delight layer. Cut two dimensionals in half and use all 4 pieces to layer stamped focal piece to Daffodil Delight mat. (In the pictured sample a flower from Lacy & Lovely was lightly stamped in Crumb Cake and the Trust God text over top in Early Espresso).

5) Stamp poppy images (or a different image if desired) on the two 1 1/2" x 3 1/4" Natural White pieces. Leave room on the right hand rectangle for a long text (see pictures) Sponge around edges to soften with Crumb Cake. Adhere them to each side of the card, the part that will be folded behind the front. (Text from Sweet Essentials was stamped in the pictured sample).

6) Adhere the front image to the center of the folded card, making sure to only apply adhesive to the CENTER plateau area of it. Otherwise, the sides of the card will not pull out.

7) The back of the card is your writing surface. Decorate if you wish.
