Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   For an A2 card, the cardstock is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Score across the center at 4 1/4".

   

2. Step 2

   Make a pencil mark at the bottom center (2 3/4").

   

3. Step 3

   Cut layering pieces for the panels (for the sample, the panels are 5 1/4” x 4” and 5" x 3 3/4") and mark them at bottom center. (For other sizes, reduce measurements by 1/4" for each layer.)

   

4. Step 4

   Cut the card front from the score line to the center point on both sides.

   

5. Cut the layering panels in the same way.

   

6. Step 5

   Assemble the layers.

   

7. Step 6

   Adhere the central panel to the card base.

9. Step 7

   Embellish the card as desired to complete the project.
