Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Score 5 1/2" x 11" cardstock at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", and 8-1/4" along the long side.
-
Step 2
To create the Screen Divider fold, fold in half at scored line then fold each side back in the opposite direction at the scored lines.
-
Step 3
Unfold card and lay flat. Using a border punch, create a punched border along the top edge of the card.
-
Step 4
To create "legs" at the bottom work with half of the card at a time. Keeping the two left panels folded, slide the bottom of those two panels into the Decorative Label punch (only 2 layers at a time will work). Position the cardstock about one-third of the way into the punch and center side to side, then punch.
-
Repeat with the right two panels.
-
Step 5
Use stamps & ink to create four decorative panels measuring 2 1/8" x 4".
NOTE:
Be sure to leave room for the greeting and your signature on the 4th panel. -
Step 6
Layer stamped panels on to cardstock measuring 2-3/8" x 4-1/4". Adhere completed panels to the screen divider card base.
-
Step 7
Embellish and complete the card, tying closed for mailing if desired.
-
Finished card will fit in an A2 envelope.
