HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT

In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

Cut a piece of Basic White 11" x 4¼”
Cut a slit from 2" to 6½" along the 11" side, turn over and repeat on the back side.
Using the picture below, score as directed on the 1", 2", 5½" and 6½
Fold ONLY the score lines as follows - 1" Mountain Fold, 2" Valley Fold, 5½" Mountain Fold and 6½" Mountain Fold.
Cut 2 pieces of Flirty Flamingo 4½" x 1".
Cut 2 pieces of Basic White 6½" x 1½" and using the long Irresistible Blooms die, run them thru the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.
Carefully add Stampin' Seal lightly to the back of the 2 die pieces and holding the ends, center and lay over the Flirty Flamingo CS.
Use you finger and slide over the die piece to remove any remaining adhesive.
Trim the excess piece off both ends.
Adhere the 2 pieces between the valley and mountain folds along each side.
Cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo 4" x ¾".
Cut a 5" piece of ribbon and seal the end pieces on the back.
The tiny bow was made using a fork. Add a glue dot and add over the wrapped ribbon then adhere across the bottom of the card.
Using Memento Black Ink and Basic White CS, stamp and die cut the 2 flowers.
Color the flowers with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends.
Color the flower centers with the Dark Mango Melody.
Using Soft Succulent Ink and Soft Succulent CS, stamp and die cut the leaf pieces.

Add a dimensional to the back of each flower and adhere to the center piece.
Add a dimensional to the from edge of the leaves and tuck under the flowers.
Using Evening Evergreen Ink, stamp your greeting near the top of the card.
To add the final touches I used the Loose Frosted Dots on the center of the flowers in addition to the normal 3 on the front. This was a little tricky because there is no adhesive on the back of the dots so I put a drop of multipurpose liquid glue on my Silicone Craft Sheet then used a tooth pick to apply glue. Now enjoy your finished card!
