I took a pattern that Beate (who else? :-D) had made, changed the size to regular quarter-size CS sheets, and did this at a workshop. We used Aquabrushes, double hole punch, Basic Brown pad, and Just Jeans (thanks, Lana!!)for the first time, and I sold several of each. Simply score at 1/2", then at 1" on both sides, and fold one middle out for back and one middle in for front. Mono, then tie edges. Sentiment from Hope Is. . . is stamped on the back.

Oh my, this is a work of art. I love the shadow box presentation around this stamp. This set is on my wish list. I must have now after seeing your card! TFS

Thanks, Ladies! About a pattern, I don't have a written one. BUT you can do it! Just start with two quarter sheets of CS--4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Turn it so that it is WIDE, and score in from both ends at 1/2" and 1" (On your cutter, the measurements would be 5" and 4 1/2"). Okay so far? Do the same thing with both sheets of CS. Now prefold along your scored lines. Make the front pop OUT and the back pop IN. Lay flat again. Decorate inside and outside, then attach back to front. I used a bit of monoadhesive at the top and bottom as well as tying ribbon in the middle. THANK YOU, BEATE, FOR A BEAUTIFUL CARD THAT WORKED AS A PATTERN. :-D
