Ok, my challenge should you choose to accept, is to make a criss cross card. These are very fun and very easy to make. Here are the instructions as given out by Michelle Wooderson.
The only things you will need to make this super cool card are regular cardstock, some red liner tape (yes, I am the one who caused all the red liner tape confusion), and some coordinating designer paper (but this last item is optional).
Cut one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" solid cardstock in half lengthwise. You'll use both pieces. Score each piece in half at 5-1/2". Lay out horizontally.
Glue one 5-1/2" portion of one piece to a second 5-1/2" portion of the other piece of cardstock. You will end up with one tri-fold card with the glued together, double layer in the middle. Cut each side at an angle.....these will fold over in criss cross fashion onto the middle section. (see photo to figure out how to cut at a diagonal)
If you want patterned paper on the fold over portions, cut two
4-1/4" x 5-1/2" pieces of patterned paper in half at a diagonal. You will use one piece from each rectangle (you'll find which ones fit). I glued them on with monoadhesive.
Then to adhere the pocket together, place one strip of sticky strip along the bottom of the middle portion. Peel off and fold over one side flap to stick down. Then place another portion of sticky strip on the flap you just adhered. Peel off and stick down. Now you have the pocket! (I'm anal about making stuff like this stick VERY well so I'm not stingy with the sticky strip)
You can fill the pocket with a card insert or make tag type inserts. I am showing a sample of both.
When you upload, please remember to put the challenge code JANVSNJin the keywords of your upload, so they can be found easily for judging. Thanks for playing, and don't forget all the cool prizes you could win.

sorry, I am working on getting some samples up, I am having a hard time with the site tonight, and on top of that I am on dial up so it is extra slow, give me a few minutes.

Abbe,
I thought I was the only one having problems! I have tried to upload my cards three times now and it isn't working. Oh, well. I will just wait until later!

You are SO not the only one having problems. I have finally given up on uploading tonight and I will do it later. The worst part of the whole deal is that I just started uploading things today! Not that my work is all that great or anything, but still....
Oh well, this too shall pass...at least that is what I tell my kids! :p

Hello Darlin' would have been here sooner, but I was paddleing my canoe against the current with no oars.
