  • Card Base: 5-1/2 x 6-1/2" Score: 4-1/4" (Pecan Pie, Early Espresso or Lemon Lolly Cardstock)
  • Latch Fold Piece: 3-1/2 x 3-1/4 Score: 2-3/4" on the 3-1/4" side
  • DSP Large Piece: 4 x 5-1/4"
  • DSP Strip: 2 x 5-1/4"
  • DSP Small Piece: 2-1/2 x 3-1/4"
  • Basic White Piece: 2-1/2 x 3-1/4"
  • (1) Large Nested Essential Die Cut Rectangle (Size: 2-3/8 x3") Pecan Pie or Early Espresso
  • (1) Medium Nested Essential Die Cut Rectangle (Size: 2 x 2-5/8") Basic White 
  • (2) Die Cut Coffee Cups from Little Latte DSP
  • (2) Strips of Polka Dot Trim (3-1/2")
  • (3) Swirl Dots

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut card base 5-1/2 x 6-1/2" Score at 4-1/4" 
  • Cut the latch fold piece to 3-1/2 x 3-1/4" Score at 2-3/4 on the 3-1/4" side
  • Add glue to the small flap at the score line of this latch piece and tuck behind the large DSP panel (4 x 5-1/4" piece) on the right lower part of the card - about 1/4" from the bottom of the DSP panel
  • Add small DSP piece to this panel with glue
  • Add the DSP strip to the left side of the card base
  • Stamp greeting onto the Nested Essential die cut in Early Espresso or desired ink color
  • Decorate with die cut rectangle coffee mugs and glue to the layering die cut
  • Add glue only to the left side of this die cut and adhere to the left flap in line with the latch panel on the right (I recommend Seal+ or multipurpose glue)
  • Stamp sentiment on the Basic White panel for the inside of the card and glue behind the latch fold flap
  • Now all of your pieces should be in place!
  • Slide the latch fold BEHIND the rectangle die cut to close your fun fold!
  • Finish with swirl dots
  • OPTIONAL: Add two pieces of the trim on the right of the latch fold panel for extra texture and pop *use Stampin' Seal+ or strong adhesive*
