Fold the piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock in half on the 4 1/4" score line. Then, fold the edge back. Adhere the pieces of DSP to the interior as shown above. Adhere the second piece of 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" DSP to the front as shown to the left.

Stamp a greeting and images on the piece of 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" Whisper White cardstock and adhere to the inside of your card in the area where there is no DSP.

To make the belly band, fold the piece of 1” x 9 ½” Early Espresso around the folded card so that the ends overlap at the front. Adhere the ends. Be careful not to make the band too tight. You want it to stay on, but you also want to be able to easily slide it off the card. This will become the belly band.

Tie a piece of Faux Suede Trim around the belly band. Finally, decorate the belly band with the sentiment and the globe. Slide the belly band onto your tri-fold card for the finishing touch.
