 HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT 
In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the new Stampin' Seal  
  • Cut a piece of Basic Black 11" x 4¼". 
  • Score at ⅜", 1⅞", 3⅝", 5⅛", 5½".
  • Cut Designer Series Paper (DSP) 4⅛" High (Pattern Up) x 4" Wide.
  • Put the DSP in your Paper Trimmer with the pattern up and cut at 1⅜".
  • With the piece that is left, cut at 1⅝".
  • The remaining piece should be 1⅜".
  • Cut a complementing DSP piece at 4⅛" High x 1⅝" Wide.
  • Cut two complementing DSP pieces at 4⅛" High x ¼" Wide.
  • Cut a piece of Very Vanilla 4⅛" x 3¼".
  • Cut a piece of Very Vanilla 4⅛" x 2".
  • Fold the card in half at the 5½" score line making a mountain fold.
    (A mountain fold is when the fold points up, a valley fold is when the fold points down).
  • We are going to fold all the folds, starting from the center fold out.
  • With all the score lines showing on top and the fold at the top, make a valley fold.
  • The next two folds will be mountain folds.
  • The last fold will be a valley fold and now it should look like this.
  • Close the card so all the folds are on the top, then open the card to the left.
  • Put Tear & Tape on the inside of the ¼" fold near the center.
  • Close the card to adhere, then open the card again.
  • Adhere the Very Vanilla Greeting piece and the 1⅝"coordinating DSP piece.
  • Close the card with all the fold lines on top.
  • We are now going to add all the rest of the DSP's pieces.
  • Starting from the left, adhere one of the ¼" wide piece.
  • Next adhere the 3 panels of the Bay Window.  Make sure the cut lines are in order and your pattern is correct.
  • Now add the other ¼" wide piece.  
  • Fussy cut a flower from the DSP, add dimensionals to the back and adhere on the inside DSP piece.
    The
    ¼" strip on the right front of the card will tuck under the flower, like an easel card.  This will form the bay window.
  • Punch the Very Vanilla 4⅛" x 2" with the Elegant Tag Punch
  • Stamp your greeting with VersaMark, add Copper Embossing powder and heat with the heat tool. Tie a bow with the Simply Elegant Silver Trim.
  • Cut ⅛" off of both sides. 
  • Add a Mini Glue Dot to the back of the bow and adhere it to the top of the greeting.
  • Add dimensionals to the back of the greeting and adhere it to the center panel of the bay window.
  • Add Opal Rounds to the greeting to complete the card.
  • Here is the front of the card before you open.
  • When you open the card you can see the Bay Window, just slide the open end under the flower.
