How to:

Score the 11.5" x 5" piece of card at 5.75" and fold in half to make the card base. Adhere the white card and paper panels and set aside. 

Score the 10" x 4" piece of card at 5", 5.5", 6" and 6.5" on the long side. 

Fold and crease all the score lines with a bone folder. 

Centre 1" x 7" piece of card across the waterfall base and fold around loosely. 

Fold the waterfall base in half. Apply adhesive between the 5" and 5.5" score lines. Line up the 5" x 4" piece of card with the front, and stick down. 

Apply adhesive between the 5.5" score line and the 6" score line and adhere the 4.5" x 4" piece of card. Repeat with the last piece of card. 

Apply adhesive to the centre section of the sliding mechanism and adhere to the bottom of the piece of card under the third panel. 

Apply adhesive to the front of the centre section of the sliding mechanism and adhere the smallest waterfall panel to it. 

Wrap the tabs of the sliding mechanism around the back of the card - do not adhere. 

Stamp the Leo sentiment onto a piece of card measuring 3.75" x  4.25". Adhere the brown card panel and the sentiment panel on waterfall panel no.2. Use some designer paper to decorate. 

On the waterfall panel no.3 (smallest one) use the papers to create a pocket for a gift card/cash. 

Cut out two pull tabs. Open up the waterfall card and adhere one of the pull tabs to the bottom of the back of the card. Turn over and adhere the second tab, lining it up with the first one. 

Adhere a paper layer if desired. 

Fold the tabs around the back of the waterfall and adhere to the front of the card base.

Thread some twine through the hole of the pull tab. 

Decorate the front panel using brown card and designer paper. Set the card aside. 

Stamp Uptown Zodiac Girl Leo onto white card. Colour using your preferred medium, then fussy cut around the outline. 

Adhere Uptown Zodiac Girl Leo to the card front, using foam tape/dots

To finish the card, stamp the Leo sentiment onto a strip of paper, cut out using a stitched rectangle and adhere across the card front.
