Ink

Paper Scorer

Coluzzle®, other cutting system, or punch

Slit punch

Hole punch

Ribbon

Scrap cardstock (optional, for layers and inside image)

Step 1.
Score the cardstock at 3 1/2" and 7".

Step 2.
Prefold scores so the longer panel is on the right.

Step 3.
Slide the slit punch in so that the semicircle is slightly under the folded card. Punch.

Step 4.
Tuck the folded card into the just-punched slit to keep the card closed.

Step 5.
Punch a hole in the center of the slit punch, making sure the punch doesn't go through the other panels of the card.

Step 6. (Optional)
If you'd like a framed window, add a layer for the frame now.

Step 7.
Unfold the card. Cut or punch a window through the middle panel only. A Coluzzle cutting system was used here.

Step 8.
Stamp and color the main image on scrap cardstock.

Step 9.
Apply adhesive to the back of the main image. To center the main image, start by aligning it behind the cut-out window.

Step 10.
When satisfied with the image placement, fold the right side of the card over and adhere the image.

Step 11.
Unfold and stamp the inside if needed.

Step 12.
Refold the card. Wrap ribbon around, run it through the hole and around the card, then tie shut.

Or....just tie ribbon through the hole as an accent.
