Sunflower Checker Round Card

 

Layered sunflower is framed by circle checker
accent which can be cut from regular card stock
paper or vinyl, with centering guide marks for
flower and checker circle. 
Card back has perforated cross line near top
to bend to create a hinged easel style card
that can stand. 
Card measures approx. 5.25" in diameter.
A companion square envelope is also
available to enclose for giving or sending.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A card front base
B card back base with near-top perforation line
and short flat cut along bottom edge for standing.
C-F sunflower petals and center circles
G checker sections (model uses black vinyl)
2. If using adhesive vinyl, cut, weed, then use clear
transfer adhesive sheet to prepare the checker unit
for placement. Then position over the front card panel
with center positioning guide over card panel center punch.

If using cardstock cut out shapes, position the outer ring
of the checker unit over the card front panel,
centered with even edge offset margin all around, 
and attach. Then position and attach the inner ring 
with alternating checker unit in correct positioning.
3. Layer the sunflower petal shapes with centers
aligned, then rotated so that top petals fall exactly
between bottom layer petals.
Use a pin to help center the shapes then glue together
where they overlap.
4. Position and attach center circle over front of
petals assembly, with centers aligned.
5. Position and attach within checker accent frame,
with center of flower and card aligned (use pin if needed).
6. Prepare card back panel by bending forward
on cross-perforation line. 
7. Apply glue to the backside above the perf line,
then position at backside top of card front assembly,
align cut edge, then glue in place to create
a self-standing, hinged closure card.
NOTE that the center bottom of card back panel
has been shaped with a flat edge to assist standing.
