The Card Base

1. The template for the Mango Melody cs card base is above.

5. Adhere the flower DSP to the Mango Melody cs strip.

All the Pieces

1. Stamp the two foxes in Memento Ink. Color with the Stampin’ Blends & Stampin’ Write Markers. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to die cut them.
2. Stamp the sentiment “Rainy Days are better with you” onto the end of the 3″ x 4″ Basic White cs in Memento Ink. Punch out with the Cloud Punch.
3. Use a Sponge Dauber & the Balmy Blue Ink to add a little color to the edge of the cloud.
4. Apply Wink of Stella to the cloud if desired once the sentiment ink has dried.
5. Die cut all of the remaining pieces: the butterflies, bow, bridge, tree stump, and 3 of the clumps of grass.

Putting the Card Base Together

1. Adhere the strip of Mango cs and flower DSP to the left & right side panels of pouring rain by following the photo series above.
2. Photo 1: Lay the card base flat on the table. Have the left side open & the right side folded. Apply adhesive to the bottom of the two pouring rain panels.
3. Photo 2: Place the flower panel on and wiggle into place.
4. Photo 3: Open up the card base.
5. Photo 4: Stand up view.

Finishing Up
