Accordion fold creating 3 peaks

Cut the DSP 4-1/2″ square in half along the diagonal and glue to the outside sides of the right and left peaks
Use smaller templates to cut out triangles for outside peaks and larger templates for center peak (see second page of PDF above)
Punch out Decorative circle from Lemon Lime Twist and Stamp and punch out 2″ circle from white for the sentiment.
Layer the circles with dimensionals
Score the 1″ x 3″ strip at 1/2″, 1″, 2″, and 2-1/2″ Fold to create a place for the circle and glue the circle. Be sure to havethe piece snug up against the peak fold so it will lay flat in the envelope.
Sign your card on the back before you attach the support bar if desired.
Score the 1″ x 7″ strip at 1/2″, 3-1/2″ and 6-1/2″ and secure to the back of the card for support.
Add bling and other decorative pieces.
