Fold the top backwards at the 2 1/8" score line
Unfold the "cardfront", wrap the Meadow Moments embossing folder around the cardfront, wrap the back of the card base around the outside of the embossing folder (so it doesn't get embossed), then run through the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Adhere Layer #2 Cinnamon Cider on the top flap of the card front 1/4" down from the top (centered vertically) and 1/2" to the right of the left edge of the card front, ensuring the right edge of the Cinnamon Cider cardstock meets the edge of the cardbase when the card is folded/closed
