This was a card I did for a two-step stamping swap. She told us to think outside the box and this is what I came up with. Love the template and will use this again because it gets a big 'WOW' everytime I send one. I've also used this for invitations and gotten great responses!

The strange quot words are actually code. When we use a quotation mark for inches, that's what it does. Here are the instructions without them...I think they are correct. Thanks for the instructions. Great card idea!
Cut an 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock in half length-wise so you end up with a 4 1/4 x 11. Now score every 1 3/8 inches. Mountain fold, valley fold, etc. until you are all accordioned; I rolled every other score to get the watercolor vine on every other piece. Then, the front is a 1 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches, the second is 2 inches x 2 inches; the third is 2 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches and the final piece is 3 inches x 3 inches. I mounted each one by adding a 1/4 inch but this looks great unmounted as well. I just wanted more color. I hope this is explained enough...Enjoy!

Don't apologize -- I was clueless too because I didn't write that -- apparently, when it uploaded the inches mark came through as ". 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 equals 1 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches. Hope that helps!

Very nice! You should submit it to SU, they may get you to be a Demo at some function showing this... if not you than it will be someone else that submits this same idea, I bet!
