Multi Panel According Fold Card

This is a time consuming card, but it's so cool! Click here for a PDF of directions. I didn't use ribbons to fasten my cards because when giving to non stampers they find it fiddly and cumbersome. Actually, I'm a stamper and I find it drives me a bit nuts. lol On the front you'll see some glitter dots. Those are there because.... you guessed it, to cover a goof and I couldn't use just one:) One more thing, as usual, I did not use" for each inch measurement. It's just such a pain and I think it's a bit confusing/combersome when reading a bunch of measurements for directions. Besides we all use inches in the U.S. Yeah, and I am a retired teacher!

Join the 3-1/4 x 8-1/2 to the 3-1/4 x 9. With the long side at the top, score at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2, then flip the paper around and score at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2 on the other end.
On the 12 inch long piece cut a rectangle from each section using the #5 die (begin counting with the largest die). Be sure to center.
Cut rectangles from only four of the 3-3/4 x 5-1/4 Poppy Parade pieces. Use rectangle die # 4. Glue these to the outside of the rectangles cut in the 12 inch long white piece.
Decorate the two 2-1/4 x 2-3/4 white pieces, which are the 2^nd and 5^th panels. Then glue on the Mango Melody pieces that measure 2-1/2 x 3.
Glue two pieces of DSP to the two center pieces.
Decorate the two 1-1/2 x 2-3/4 white pieces. (these will be the 1^st and last panels) Glue on 1-3/4 x 3 Mango Melody pieces. Glue DSP on the other two Mango pieces. Then glue to each section of the smaller white accordian piece.
