1.    Measure and cut the card stock 8" long.

2.    Cut a 8" x 3" piece out of the leftover card stock

3.    Measure 4 1/2" from one side of the paper and fold so the nice side of the paper is on the outside.

4.    Measure 1 1/2" from the other side of the paper and fold so right side of the paper is out.

5.    Glue the 8" x 3" piece of card stock to form a folder on the 4 1/2" side of the card

6.    Cut a piece of the "fancy paper" 4 3/4" x 7 1/4" and glue into the center of the card.

7.    Set the paper size on your computer to 5" x 8" and make your invitation.  You can use whatever wording you like.  Or you can use the template that was sent with your order.  And print on the plain white paper.

8.    Cut your invitation to 4 1/4" x 5 3/4".  Center and glue on your fancy paper.

9.    Cut your vellum paper 4" x 6 1/2" and center over your invitation and glue at the top only.

 10.    Punch 2 holds in the top of the card and embellish with small organza bow.  Glue the center of the bow to ensure that it stays put!
