Card size: 5 X 7” with tree blossoms overhanging by 1 1/4".  Using the Gateway Fold Card, die cut all 3 tops with the outer section of Lattice Flourish Gateway Die.  Cut the Lattice bottom portion out of first 2 panels and replace the lattice insert (reinforce backs so that there is something to glue to wherever possible).  Cut the decorative tops of the first 2 panels and cut and extra decorative top portion for the back panel out of white.

Stamp tree, cherry blossoms (enough for tree and 2 arched tops), mailbox, nest with birds, leaves, cottage, greenery for cottage, extra chimney, grasses, berry bushes and 1 potted plant using black. 

Die cut and color.  Glue several cherry blossoms over arches of 1st and 2nd arch way.  Glue the mailbox to the right side of 1st panel with nest and birds on top of it.  Glue grasses along the bottom then glue potted plant on left bottom corner. Glue the 2 berry bushes at each corner of the center panel then glue the bottom grasses.

 On the back panel, die cut decorative paper using the outer die, glue to the back, glue decorative white die cut to the top then glue the cottage to the bottom, leave top open so tree can be glued in behind.  Glue the tree behind cottage, glue cherry blossoms onto tree.  Glue all the greenery around the cottage. 

Stamp French Cottage blossoms (smallest) using Magenta Hue, sponge, die cut and form.  Fill with green Prills.  Sponge Magenta Hue onto white cardstock an area about 2 X 3” then die cut Happy Birthday from it.  Glue it in the archway over cottage.  Glue French Cottage blossoms on all three arches add leaves as desired.  Randomly glitter card. 



Now it's time for fall...let's skip summer this year!

Card size: 4 7/8 X 6 3/4". Start with the Gateway Fold card base folded.  Place largest Eyelet Gateway Die centered on card.  Die cut down 3”, turn card and die cut up 2” leaving approximately 1 1/2" of fold.  Recut any panels as needed.  Cut 3 white largest Eyelet Gateway Die and cut 3 decorative paper die the next size down (it has a plain edge).  Before gluing anything down sponge yellow ink on  the fold/score areas that will show.  Glue the white Eyelet Gateway die cuts over matching edges then glue decorative paper.  Cut 3 pieces of green decorative paper 1 1/2 X 4 1/4".  Tear the top off all three pieces then glue to the bottom of each panel.

Stamp tree, maple leaves (several), cottage, cart, cottage greenery, fall veggies, sunflowers, and fence using black, die cut and color.   Glue cottage to 3rd panel glue greenery around it.  Glue tree and cart to the 2nd panel.  For the maple leaves shape a little from the top then glue to tree (save 3 for the first panel).  Glue the fence, sunflowers and fall Veggies to the 1st panel.  Glue the last 3 maple leaves to the top left of 1st panel.

Stamp Sunflowers using Peanut Brittle, sponge with yellow, die cut then edge with Peanut Brittle again.  Shape in the Basic Shaping Mold then squeeze tips.  Glue 2-3 flowers together for each sunflower.  Fill centers with Redland Elements.  Stamp leaves with Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and shape.  Add a few leaves to the sunflowers at right corner of 1st panel.

Stamp sentiment on ivory using Tiger Lily, die cut and glue onto 3rd panel above cottage.  Randomly glitter all 3 panels.

I don't understand your instructions for the lattice card. Would you be able to explain it a little better? Cut all 3 tops doesn't register with me. How do you just cut the tops with the outer die? How much of the tops do you cut? I'm sorry but I'm an airhead on this one. Please help.
