Step 5
Add the top triangle to the card using a little glue, and tuck the end under like the rest.

card... Thanks a million.
I have a number of brass stencils for doing cut and tuck patterns that I had forgotten about, must get them out of hiding and have a play with them.
perfect pacing. Your tips are just what I needed. Attended a class a few years ago, and have a draw full of "rejects" because your poignant details were not explained--like only cut the length of the line (one is longer than the next); holding on to that bottom piece; and tucking under. Bless you for taking the time to make this look easy.
