This needs a mat measuring 4 1/2 by 6 1/2

Layer measuring 4 by 6 1/4

The 2nd panel measures 4 3/4 by 5 3/4 

While the mat measures 4 1/2 by 5 1/2

Layer 4 1/4 by 5 1/4

The 3rd Panel measures 4 3/4 by 4 3/4

The 4th panel measures 4 3/4 by 3 3/4

With the 6 1/2 inch edge at the top, score 1/2 inch in on the left hand side.

On the right hand side put a pencil mark 3 3/4 inch up from the bottom.

From the top of the 1/2 inch score line to the pencil dot, draw a line

Cut the line on both pieces

To create the concertina sides you need 2 pieces of card which measure 6 1/2 by 6 3/4 inch. With the 6 1/2 inch edge at the top score at 1/2, 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2

Concertina fold these

Put glue on both the 1/2 inch tabs and secure these to the back of the largest panel

Fold the concertina flat onto the panel and add glue so you can then add the second panel

Repeat for the next panel

Add glue onto the final part of the concertinas and add the final panel

The image was stamped, coloured and die cut out. The sentiment was heat embossed and all were added using foam pads.

The panel was then finished with nuvo drops and glossy accents
