Cut the top of the back section of card with the Plain edge of the Classic Border Basics Die.

Use the Floral Basics Mold for the flowers and the Leafy Accent Mold for the Leafy Accent leaves (see Emma Lou’s Video for using the Shaping Molds). Stamp and die cut all the squirrels and the squirrel cottage (on the cottage, stamp and die cut 2 or 3 times to do layers for dimension) using black ink on white card stock. Use Copic Markers to color. Stamp and die cut all the other flower blossoms then color.
Finish shaping flowers using the Flower Shaping kit, insert stamen, glue and let dry. Start decorating each panel by placing the squirrels.

rd panel inside, glue the kraft pockets to each side at the bottom leaving opening to place tags in. then glue the blossom squirrel sitting in a big flower and the reaching up squirrel on top of the right kraft pocket. Place hand cut tag into the left pocket. On the back panel, glue the base layer of the cottage on and then pop up a layer of the scaled bottom and a popped up layer of the window frame and mama squirrel on top of the base for more dimension. Add another layer of the butterfly shaping wings up. Add some coneflowers to the ground and then make another acorn and flower arrangement at the top right. Most of the 3D flowers should show when panels are all the way closed and card should lay fairly flat.
