- 2" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock

As you are ready to stamp using the Beautiful Bouquet Photopolymer Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Place a piece of paper (Grid Paper works great) on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the small, solid, 6-petal flower from the Beautiful Bouquet Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Rococo Rose Ink Pad. Stamp it all around the edges of the Rococo Rose rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock.
Adhere the Mint Macaron rectangle to the center of the stamped Rococo Rose rectangle using SNAIL Adhesive.
Mount the "I'm so happy to know you" sentiment from the Barn Door Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Rococo Rose Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the large Very Vanilla rectangle.
Adhere the stamped vanilla rectangle to the center of the large rectangle in the center of the long Crumb Cake rectangle using SNAIL Adhesive.
Fold the two flaps on either side of the long Crumb Cake rectangle in towards the center.
Mount the large, half barn door image from the Barn Door Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the 4" x 5-1/4" Crumb Cake rectangle. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it on the other side of the rectangle. Leave room between the two images.
Pick out the large rectangle die from the Sliding Door Dies. Put it on top of one of the stamped door images on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the door image is centered in the die. Run through the tool. Repeat with the other door image.
Adhere the door cut outs to the front of the two flaps on the long Crumb Cake rectangle using SNAIL Adhesive. Make sure the side of the door with the cross pieces meeting in the center is along the open edge of each flap.
Open the long Crumb Cake rectangle flaps and flip the rectangle over so the vanilla layer in the center is face down.
Cut two pieces of the 3/8" Linen Ribbon from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack so each piece is 5-1/2" long.
Lay one piece of ribbon across the center bar of the door on the flap on the right side so about 1/2" of the ribbon is on the solid back of the center of the card. Use a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the end of the ribbon on the back of the center of the card to hold the ribbon in place. Repeat with the other ribbon on the flap on the left side.
Add more strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive and/or SNAIL Adhesive to the back of the center of the card. Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape strips. Adhere it to the center of the Mint Macaron rectangle on the Rococo Rose rectangle.
Pick out a key element from the Classic Garage Metal Elements. Slide it onto the ribbon on the left side of the card.
Write whatever you want on the vanilla rectangle inside the card. Then, fold the door flaps of the card down and tie the ribbon in a knot in the center of the door flaps to keep them closed. Trim the ends of the ribbon.
Mount the wreath with flowers image from the Barn Door Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave the stamp on the block.
Ink up the wreath with flowers image with the Rococo Rose Ink Pad. Stamp it on the scrap of vanilla cardstock so you get the flowers on the wreath.
Pick out the wreath with flowers die from the Sliding Door Dies. Put it on top of the stamped Mint Macaron wreath image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the wreath image is centered in the die. Run through the tool.
Pick out the set of three flowers die from the Sliding Door Dies. Put it on top of the stamped Rococo Rose flowers image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the flowers image is centered in the die. Run through the tool.
Use SNAIL Adhesive to adhere the wreath cut out to the top of the door flap on the right side of the card.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the flowers cut out over the top of the flowers on the wreath.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two small rhinestones and one medium rhinestone from a sheet of Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flowers.
