• After scoring the cardbase, cut the right end diagonally from the top of the 6 3/4″ scoreline down to the bottom right of the base at 11″, cutting off the triangle you’ll use inside the card on the opposite side.
• Pay attention when you’re cutting the DSP pieces so each diagonal features the side of the DSP you want to show!  (Determine top right to bottom left or vice versa.)
• Adhere DSP pieces flat to all sections of main card base.
• Adhere foam adhesive sheet to Espresso piece before diecutting GO WILD out of it.
• You may need to trim down the leftover diagonal Espresso triangle a bit before adhering its left and bottom sides to the Espresso cardbase with Tear & Tape.
• Texture Sahara Sand card.
• Adhere ribbon loop to Sahara card before adhering DSP and gold strip on outside and DSP inside.
• Stamp inside of Sahara card, add DSP strip and adhere to Sahara card.
• Tuck Sahara card into Espresso triangle on the card base.
• Audition your foam letters to determine the best position before sticking them to the Sahara card and main cardbase.
