Apply Sticky Strip to the bottom .5" segment on the opposite side from where the other sticky strip was placed -- it will be attached to the backing.
Step 8: Insert the belly bank onto the backing. Position belly band and snowman layered image so that it is centered onto the card. Attach the straighted 'z' card stock to the layered backing.
Step 9: Push the belly band towards the top edge of the card. The snowman image should 'pop up' like an easel.
