3) Cut one piece of Twitterpated Designer Series Paper at 4 3/4″ x 9 1/2″, fold in half and once again place the folded edge just shy of the top 3 scallops to create a fold/
flap for your card. In the fold, cut a small slit with your Paper Trimmer to allow the peak from the first die cut to slide through.
 
4) Stamp the inside of your Whisper White fun fold scallop die cut with the Best Friends Forever stamp set images and Riding Hood Red ink.
 
5) Apply SNAIL adhesive to the bottom half of the Whisper White die cut and line up with the scallop edges on the Twitterpated die cut, sliding the peak through the slit in the top of the card base. Then apply SNAIL adhesive to the top half of the Whisper White die cut and attach to the top inside of the Twitterpated die cut.
