6. Remove all pieces marked in Black (photo 2) - Fold and burnish score lines

10. Add glue to one side of the underneath and add onto the card base (photo 1)

11. Add glue to the other side and close the card , hold together for time for the glue too bond

The Belly Band/ Topper /Decorations

These are all optional

12. Use a piece of Black Card that measures 10.5" x 1.5" and a piece of patterned paper that measures 10.25" x 1.25" glue these together

(this will need to be longer of you are not adding a topper)

13. Fold the belly band around the closed card , it wants to be a snug fit but needs to be removable - Don't worry that it does not fit exact as the topper will cover the open part.

Topper

Make a topper any size you wish, and attach to Belly Band -( I used some foam here to add dimension). For the decorations/Sentiment I used JMC Bumble Buzz Digital Download Collection. Finish by decorating inside. I attached the bee's/Flowers using thin strips of acetate. (using acetate makes them wiggle when the card is opened) 

Have a lovely day
