The document provides instructions for creating a 3D greeting card called "The Whispering Sand". It involves cutting out several paper pieces, including characters and seagulls. The pieces are then glued together in a specific order to form an arch shape with hanging seagulls. String is attached to the seagulls and glued to the arch to create the 3D effect. When completed, the card stands up and is ready to be sent to friends.
