2nd- Cut your Dp(design paper) at 5 1/2 inch key and same features as above,this is for the inside of the envelope. Do the same for the black this will be for the back of the postcard! (WHEN YOU CUT THESE BE SURE TO LET IT CUT THE POSTCARD,THEN PUSH THE STOP BUTTON) otherwise you will have another envelope for each.

Branches(PAGE 65)
Green Cardstock-(BORDER FUNCTION ON)
1st-press the tree button (for branch) cut at 1 inch(3 branches)

Now that you are done cutting your pieces you will want to emboss your 3 white frames for the postcard

I used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder to do this. If you are wanting to add white dots to the black frames do that now,then put together you postcard as I did in picture above. If you are adding ribbon, you will want to add it, and then put the black frame on the back of your postcard! Next you can stamp your sentiment on the little white frame, and add the black frame to it.
Branches-you will want to add your stickles to them before you put your entire postcard together!
The Cat I used Vintage Photo ink to distress the cat pieces, then put the cat together. Add eyes(I used heart shaped gems for eyes, nose, and ears.
Once you are done with the Cat, Sentiment Frame, and your branches are dry, you can put your postcard together!

The envelope. I added the Design Paper Frame to the inside of the flap of the envelope. Then embellish your envelope as you would like. I really enjoyed making these! Hope you will try the cat and Postcard with Envelope too!!! Enjoy!
