Folding Instructions:

1. Place your card in front of you as shown in the picture, pop all cut lines apart before you start..
2. Fold along valleys and mountains as shown, beginning with the top and bottom center valley folds. Continue with the outermost folds and work toward the center of the card.
   Tip: Push forward from behind with one hand and "pinch" along the fold from the front with your other hand.
3. Gently fold and press flat as if the card were folded, open and close this piece to make sure it all works properly.
4. Card may be embellished with rubber stamps, chalks, pencils, and handmade paper.  It is easier to do this while flat.  Slide scrap paper under the cutouts to keep the edges neat.
5. Cut a backing piece for the card, the exact size of each 3-D card is 9 1/2" x 6 3/4".  A backing of 9 3/4" x 7" will give a nice little border around the card and still fit in the envelope.  A metallic cardstock makes a nice touch and coordinates well with the metallic envelope liner.
6. To adhere backing to pop-out card, keep the card folded and apply double-sided tape to the areas that do NOT move with the 3-D design.  Attach one side at a time, getting the borders even and the center fold together.  Attach the second side with the backing piece folded over.  This is where the fit is the most important.  Open and close to see if other sections should be attached and tape them down as needed.
7. To assemble the optional envelope available, fold on the score lines.  To add the liner, dry fit first to see the correct positioning.  Peel away about an inch of the bottom (untapered) end of the liner piece.  Place the liner next to the score line and center on the envelope.  Press and smooth, then remove the paper from the liner's adhesive back little by little, smoothing your way to the top flap of the envelope.  Fold in the sides, fold the bottom up, attach with double sided tape where they meet.
