Score the two outer pieces at 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 5 3/8 inches and 5 1/4 inches on each piece. The score marks closest to the inside are mountain folds and the score marks closes to the outside are valley folds.

2

Lay-out two rectangular nesting dies and decided on the size cuts you want for your shadow box openings on one of the 5 1/2 inch outer pieces and the 5 inch middle piece.  Use the largest die on the front outside layer. After cutting the front layer, use it as a template to place the next size smaller die on the 5 inch middle layer.

3

Adhere your major design elements to your front, middle and back layers before you assemble the layers together. (I did use some foam tape for the grass in front of the fence for an extra layer of dimension.)

4

Using 1/8 inch red double-sided sticky tape, run tape strips down the inside edges of the outer two pieces.

5

Peeling only the left back layer red tape, line up the inside layer left edge to the back piece left edge and pressed together. Do the same for the back, right edge and the front edges - doing one edge at-a-time for the most control over alignment of edges.

6

Because the outer layers are longer than the inside layer, they bow out some which allows the card to stand-up. Finish decorating card with smaller elements.

7

Write message on 4 x 3 in card and adhere to back of card. Card should fit into an A2 envelope.
