Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut a cardstock base at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Fold it in half and burnish the edge with a bone folder.

   

2. Step 2

   Place the template over the folded edge of the card base with slash marks facing down, and secure it in place with paper clips. Use scissors to cut on all lines.

   

3. Step 3

   Cut the bottom triangle off and set it aside.

   

4. Step 4

   Open the card. Working on the outside of the card, fold every other triangle down, and tuck it under the one below.

   

5. Repeat this step for each of the triangular cuts.

   

6. Step 5

   Add the top triangle to the card using a little glue, and tuck the end under like the rest.

   

7. Step 6

   Adhere a 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" piece of patterned paper to the card front with liquid glue.

   

8. Step 7

   Embellish the card.

   

9. Add a panel to the inside as well.

   

10. Step 8
