Add the four stamped and colored squares to the four cardstock squares
Fold the pull strip in half, with the stack of books on the inside of the fold.
Add image squares to the pull strip. Start with the bottom image (one with glasses) and work backwards. Add adhesive to the top part of the back of the square. Make sure to center the square over the 1 7/8” strip. Adhere to the front of the pull strip, butted up against the lowest score line.
Then work your way up. Put adhesive on the top back, and butt up square to the next score line, making sure to align withthe bottom square.
Do the same for the third quare, adding it to the next score line up.
Add the last square (one with glasses). Make sure to line it up exactly even with the top score line.
Start assembling the card.
Put glue or tear-n-tape along the two edges of the cardstock strip on the back. Place strip about ¾ of the way down from the top of the card. Adhere the strip just on the left and right sides.
To attach the waterfall, start by adding tear n tape along the center bottom of the strip
