Here are the directions that I received from CrabbyAbbe, it worked for me. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Cut one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" solid cardstock in half lengthwise. You'll use both pieces. Score each piece in half at 5-1/2". Lay out horizontally.

Glue one 5-1/2" portion of one piece to a second 5-1/2" portion of the other piece of cardstock. You will end up with one tri-fold card with the glued together, double layer in the middle. Cut each side at an angle.....these will fold over in criss cross fashion onto the middle section. (see photo to figure out how to cut at a diagonal)

If you want patterned paper on the fold over portions, cut two
4-1/4" x 5-1/2" pieces of patterned paper in half at a diagonal. You will use one piece from each rectangle (you'll find which ones fit). I glued them on with monoadhesive.

Then to adhere the pocket together, place one strip of sticky strip along the bottom of the middle portion. Peel off and fold over one side flap to stick down. Then place another portion of sticky strip on the flap you just adhered. Peel off and stick down. Now you have the pocket! (I'm anal about making stuff like this stick VERY well so I'm not stingy with the sticky strip)

You can fill the pocket with a card insert or make tag type inserts. I am showing a sample of both.

I'm not even sure what a Criss Cross Card is, but it sounds intriguing. I'd love to see a picture of one but I can't get the links to the previous posts to work. I didn't get the message that they're a demo only thing, just that the pages couldn't be viewed.

The criss cross card was one of the challenges for JanVSN. Here is the one I did:

one of the few card types I haven't tried, I need to though. Under the download section is a bunch of stuff about criss cross cards. In the search box for that forum put in criss cross card, should bring up a bunch

Thanks for the directions! I see that often there is a plain layer underneath and then patterned paper on top. Do you just trim the top pieces to fit or are there measurements. My imagination just doesn't function sometimes. Thanks

These sites say "We're sorry, but the requested file cannot be found."
