Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut a card base to 7” X 8 1/2”. Score in half at 3 1/2”. Fold on the score line.
   
   Select a circle die that is slightly larger than the width of the card base (3 1/2” circle used here.) Position the die on the card base as shown and secure with washi tape.
   
   

   

2. Step 2

   Place the card base and die on your die cutting machine with the base plate and cutting plate. Secure with washi tape.

   

3. Step 3

   Place the die cutting plate on the top portion of the card base covering 1/2 of the circle die. Run the stack through the die cutting machine.

   

4. Step 4

   Draw an angled line from the corner of the arch to the opposite side of the card.
   
   TIP:
   Choose the desired angle based on the pattern of the paper.

   

5. Cut on the drawn line.

   

6. Step 5

   Cut a piece of cardstock to 3 1/2” X 8 1/2”. Place it inside the folded card with a tiny bit peeking out. Draw a line.

   

7. Move the cardstock up 1/8”. Draw a line at the bottom of the card.

   

8. Step 6

   Cut the cardstock on the lines.

   

9. Step 7

   If desired, stamp and color the insert before adhering it to the inside of the card.

   

10. Step 8

    Embellish and complete the card.
