Fold inside layer on scored line. Lay open layer on Big Shot cutting pad on Magnetic Platform. Line up the arrows at the top & bottom of the "HIP HIP HOORAY!" die with the scored line. Crank through the Big Shot 2-3 times to cut thoroughly through. Lay die and paper on Big Shot Die Brush foam pad. Roll Big Shot Die Brush over die to loosen and remove all of the intricate pieces.

Fold the pop-up area on the scored lines as shown.

DO NOT put any SNAIL on the pop-out "HIP HIP HOORAY!" area. Adhere inside card with edges even. Fold card closed, helping the pop-out area to fold so it is popped-out when the card opens.
Cut 3” x 6” of DSP with largest Envelope Liner Thinlet. Adhere inside envelope just below the glue line using a line of SNAIL ONLY along the top edge of the liner. Fold envelope flap down to crease the liner and push it farther down into the envelope. Stamp the envelope to match your card and you are done!
