Fold on score lines and cut out corners on square #2.
Glue red rectangles to white strips.
Glue patterned strips on top of white flaps. (All strips are cut at 4" so you have the option to pick the patterns for each layer, so you will need to trim off excess to fit)


















I was on a roll when I was scoring and realized I scored at the wrong measurement on square #3... after I was done with all of them! So instead of being wasteful and throwing them out I re-scored and marked the wrong line with little x's, since it will not show on the finished project. So... on square #3, do not fold on the lines marked with the little x's, score on lines next to it. Then cut off the corners, same as you did with the previous squares.

















Glue green rectangles to white flaps on square #3.
Glue 1" patterned strips on top of white flaps, cutting off excess.


















Square #4 - fold on score lines and cut off corners.
Glue brown rectangles to white flaps.
Glue 1" patterned strips on top of white flaps, trimming off excess.
Glue 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square of patterned paper to middle of square, as shown in picture above.


















Time to glue layers together... put adhesive on bottom of square #2 (not on the flaps) and adhere to top of square #1. Continue with each layer, it will look like above picture (minus the tree).


















Now it is time to start decorating your layers. You should have 4 white photo mats for each layer, in 4 different sizes, large to small.
Using decorative scissors or edge punch trim around largest white photo mats, if desired. Attach photo mats and die cuts as shown above.


















Second layer. Using decorative scissors or edge punch, trim around edges of photo mats, attach to flaps. Decorate with die cuts.


















Third layer. Using decorative scissors or edge punch trim around photo mats, glue to flaps. Glue on die cuts.
