Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Score the 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" cardstock at:
   3 1/2", 6 1/2", 7", and 10".
   
   Fold on all score lines.

   

2. Step 2

   Use a 2" circle punch or die to cut a window in the top center of the section next to the 1/2" flap. (When folded up, this will be the inside face of the card.)

   

3. Step 3

   Apply double sided tape along the 1/2" flap of the card.
   
   

   

4. Remove the tape liner and fold the card closed to adhere.
   
   NOTE:
   The taped flap will fold back to the inside center of the card and stick to the inside of the card front (NOT the card back).

   

5. Step 4

   Decorate a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of cardstock to go inside the diorama. With the card open, line up the cardstock inside the diorama and adhere it to the back of the diorama.
   

   

6. Step 5

   Embellish and complete the card front.

   

7. Step 6

   Assemble and complete the card.

   

8. Finished card size is 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and will fit in an A2 envelope.
