2. Fold card in half at the 4-1/4 mark and score and then fold the 2-1/8 score line to make a ‘Z’ fold
3. Adhere the three pieces of 1-7/8 x 5-1/4 DSP to the folded panels and also the inside of the card
4. Cut the 2 x 2 piece of DSP from corner to corner making two triangles
5. Adhere one to the top and the other to the bottom of the right side of the inside of the card.
6. Attach the Basic White 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 to the Bumblebee 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 piece of card stock and glue it to the center of the card
7. Score the second piece of the 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 from corner to corner and then from the score line cut it at 1/2″ mark
