2 Measure and score the card width ways three times 9.5cm you will

be left with a lip do not cut this off. you need this tostick the folded card together so that the movable parts are free to slide

Using a bone folder crease each score line.

Decorate one side of both cards i,e Verse and topper or two verses

make sure they are flat to the cards

6 When you have your polythene in place and stuck with sellotape
you can fix the two pieces of card ( should be face up)to the polythene strip one sits at the back
and the other sits at the front
To stick use DS tape on the polythene and at opposite sides as per diagram
Add a ribbon to the card that pulls on the right


7 Fold the card and decorate the middle panel of the folded card
making sure it is the right way up
