Delight a friend with a card shaped like a bar of chocolate.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Prepare a mini slimline card base from brown cardstock, 7” wide by 6 1/2" high. Score at 3 1/2" on the long side and fold.

   

2. Step 2

   Cut nine 1” squares of the same brown cardstock, and nine 3/4" squares using a trimmer or dies.

   

3. Step 3

   Score on each edge of a 1” square from the back side of the cardstock to create a raised edge.

   

4. Score an X from corner to corner, also from the back side.
   
   TIP:
   When doing the angled lines, begin scoring from the center out rather than starting at the outside. This will preserve the sharp corners of the square.
   

   

5. Step 4

   On a 3/4" square, score around the edges from the back side of the cardstock to create a raised edge as before.

   

6. Step 5

   Apply foam tape or colored craft foam to the back of the small square.

   

7. Adhere the small square onto the larger square, using the cross lines as a guide for centering.

   

8. Step 6

   Repeat the above steps for the remaining squares.

   

9. Step 7

   The 3 1/2” width of the card allows for 3 squares across with 1/8” borders between and at the edges. It’s helpful to position the corner pieces first, then use them as a guide for the other pieces. Create 3 rows of squares.

   

10. Step 8

    Cut another piece of foam to cover the remaining card front (for the sample the foam is cut just smaller than the space, at 3 3/8” x 2 7/8”).

    

11. Step 9

    Cut a piece of cardstock for the wrapper and a piece of foil paper for the liner, both to 3 1/2” wide and about the same height.

    

12. Tear across the top of each piece.
    
    TIP:
    Tear the foil paper away from the foiled side so the foil goes to the edge (tearing toward you will create a white edge).
    

    

13. Step 10

    Adhere both pieces to the card front as shown.

    

14. Decorate the card front as desired.

    

15. Step 11

    Complete the project.
