Adhere in place using your designer dries clear adhesive and then trim the bottom to a point. Add 1 medium flowers and leaves as desired. You will create a second decorative panel when creating the box/envelope.

Using your Ornate Pocket Accents Die, die cut 2 dies using black cardstock.

Card Assembly - Adhere your 2 die cuts to the front panel using designer dries clear. Adhere so they line up to create the diamond in the centre. Adhere the Peony blossom and then the peony bud. You want the leaves to be at the top of where the sentiment will sit.

Keep your flowers flat in this section or for a TIP: alternately you can always make a double fold on the card edge approximately 1/2" to allow for a risen flowers.

Box/Envelope Instructions

Trim your black cardstock to 12" x 7 3/4". Place a bone fold at the 3 1/4" mark, then again in 3/4", then again in 7 3/8", and this will leave you 3/4"

This is how your pieces will look.

Adhere the back strips first and then adhere the left and right front strips to make your envelope come together.

Using your Elegant Pockets Die, trim one flourish using black cardstock, keep 2 little flourishes from the offcuts, you will be using these next to your "congratulations" stamp.

Adhere the 2 offcut flourishes from your Elegant Pockets Die cut. Adhere to the front of the envelope in the bottom section. Place a bow above the sentiment. You will need this in place to line up your decorative panel on the top of the envelope flap. TIP: you can leave adhering this until last to make sure it lines up.

Adhere your decorative top panel to your envelope front so that the tip lines up with the center of the bow and the left and right sides are flush with the edge of the opening flap. Adhere your black decorative flourish above this panel, this conceals where it adheres to the top for a cleaner finish. Add prills to your flowers centres.
