Directions:

1.  Cut out two petal cone die sheets (1 in Soft Suede – 1 in Very Vanilla)
1. Soft Suede Piece:

                                                               i.      Crisply Fold at score long score line AFTER trimming off the tab piece.

                                                             ii.      Attach scallop piece to the back of the card base rounded top piece.

2. Very Vanilla Piece:

                                                               i.      Cut off one part of the cone (you can include the rounded top if you would like) so that it is just a bit smaller than the card base.

                                                             ii.      Adhere with adhesive to the inside – right side of the card.

2. Punch out 5 large petals using the Blossom Petals Paper Punch and Old Olive Card Stock.   Set aside
3. Cut out 1 set of Flower Petals using the BigZ L Die – Fun Flowers and the Designer Series Paper of your choice.
1. Glue and layer the petal layers
2. If using a large brad, punch a hole in the center and push brad thru and secure.  If using button, button can be attached with a couple of glue dots.
3. Attach the Old Olive petals you punch out  … keep them close to the flower otherwise it will not fit in the envelope.
4. Attach flower to top of card front – do not get it too high on the card.
4. Stamp sentiment on Very Vanilla banner, crease & fold, then attach to card.

This will fit in an A2 envelope at an angle as long as you didn't place the flower too high on the cone.  Remember too that if you use the antique brads or thicker brads/buttons, you may need to use a padded envelope PLUS the card will require extra postage because of the thickness.
