Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   For the card base, cut two pieces of cardstock:
   8” x 4 1/4", scored on the long side at 2 1/2", and 4 1/4" x 3”. Set the 3” piece aside.
   

   

2. Fold and burnish on the score line.

   

3. Step 2

   Add layering pieces to the front and inside of the card base. These are cut to 3 3/4” x 2” and 3 3/4" x 5”.

   

4. Step 3

   Cut a 2” square in half diagonally for the corner element.

   

5. Step 4

   Add glue or double sided tape only on the top and side (not the diagonal) of the triangle to form the tuck pocket. Use thin bead of glue.

   

6. Add the piece to the upper corner of the inside of the card base.

   

7. Step 5

   Adhere the 4-1/4” x 3” cardstock to the card base making sure to only use adhesive on the back left side.

   

8. TIP:
   To help with placement, check the position of the cardstock with the corner element first.

   Embellish the front and inside of the card as desired. Here, the cardstock panels used are 2 3/4" x 4”.
