------------------------------

First of all layer all the pieces of DSP onto the coordinating sized int Macaron card stock mat.Now, stamp the star onto the smaller piece of Mossy Meadow card stock.

Take the Mossy Meadow and score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2". Fold the card in half along the 5 1/2", then open up the card and fold front the left towards the centre on the 2 3/4" score line and make sure you burnish both folds well.

Hold the card in a portrait manner and add the two smaller panels to the base section, add the larger one with liquid glue, then the smaller one with dimensionals. Stack two dimensionals on top of each other to give some height. This will hold the card in it's easel shape. Make sure you don't go too far up with them on the top edge, as the top panel will need a little room to sit.

Stamp the sentiments onto a scrap of basic white, trim and sponge the edges. Add this to the stacked piece you just laid down.

Next, add the largest panel to the bottom section of the card, making sure you only add adhesive to the bottom half of the panel. Otherwise you will stick the card together and it won't stand up well.

Turn the card around and add the last piece of whisper white to the section of the Mossy Meadow Card stock section showing, this will give you somewhere to write a message.

Fussy Cut some images from the DSP and add these to the star stamped panel - adhere this to the centre of the largest piece of the card. Punch out a star in silver foil with the starlit punch and add just above the trees.
