On both the left and right side panels, fold and burnish the score lines.

Adhere the paper panels on both sides of each.

Apply adhesive to the 0.5″ section on the end and adhere to the 4.75″ x 6.75″ panel, lining up the edge of the large panel to the 0.5″ score line and centering vertically. There should be approx. 1/8″ of the sentiment panel  showing on the top and bottom.

Repeat for the right side panel, centering it vertically on the right side panel.

Cut a label die approx 4.5″ x 3.25″ from white card and from paper. Trim down the paper one so that you have a 1/8″ border of the white card label showing. Also cut a selection of dies for embellishments

Stamp Tiny Townie Natalie and the Nutcracker onto white card, colour using your preferred medium and fussy cut around the outline.

Adhere Natalie to the label panel using foam tape/dots and also use foam tape/dots to adhere the label panel to the right side card panel.
