Hi, Janja here!
Gift set of cards in a folder which I share with you today are created with new CottageCutz dies - Spring.

- 5.3" and 6.1" (13,5 cm and 15,5 cm)
- 5.3" and 5.7" (13,5 cm and 14,5 cm)
Trim four pockets from white cardstock in the size of 6.3 x 3" (16 x 7,5 cm). Made the folds 0.6" (1,5 cm) from left, right, and from the bottom edge.
Glue patterned paper on pockets, which should be slightly smaller then the size of the pocket.
On each of four pockets glue spring foliage border.
Glue the cover and the insert sheet in each other.
Make a tab in the size of 5.5 x 1" (14 x 2,4 cm). Fold cardstock at 2.4" and 3.2" (6 cm and 8 cm).
Insert two magnets under a patterned paper, which hold a tab in place, when the folder is closed.
Decorate the front cover and attach it to the base.

Prepare four card bases and trim squares from colored cardstock.
Cut out squares with the largest die from white cardstock. Stamp various sentiments on them.
Cut out butterflies.
In addition to sentiments do some smudges. We can use a brush, stamp or ink smooshing technique. Whichever you prefer.
Select colors that match the color of butterflies.
Assemble the cards.
Insert cards into pockets.
