1. Stick 4 adhesive dots inside of the four corners of the engraved square (i.e., on the front of the bamboo green card).
2. Fold the green card along the centerline.
3. Remove the protective film from the adhesive dots. Proceed to carefully affix the beige card stock component so that it is centered on the bamboo green card.
4. Affix the insert containing information about the ceremony to the interior of the card. You may use additional adhesive dots to prevent the insert from sliding out.
5. Fold the transparent paper tab along the two engraved vertical lines.
6. Place the transparent tab on the invitation card so that the motifs overlap.
7. Finally, turn the card over and glue the transparent paper tab to the overlap with an adhesive dot.
