Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Along the long side of the card base, score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4", and 6 3/8". Fold all as mountain folds.
-
Step 2
Add layering panels of cardstock and patterned paper to the panels of the base.
Score the 5 1/2" x 1" strip of cardstock in half lengthwise at 1/2". Glue one side of the 1” piece to one short side of the card from the back side, so that the card will stand up as a tall box shape.
-
Add adhesive to the other side of the strip. Fold the card in a gate fold to the center back of the card, and close the card to adhere the seam.
-
Step 3
Stamp and decorate the back pieces or add a handwritten message if desired. Glue them to the two back panels.
-
Step 4
Score and fold both 1" circles in half.
-
Apply glue to only one side of each circle and affix them to the front corner with folds facing each other and aligned with the center fold of the card.
-
Step 5
Put glue on the circle tabs that are facing out, and adhere a large die cut shape or label as a base for smaller die cut or stamped images.
-
Adhere die cut or stamped images to the panel. When you stand the card up like a square, they will stand out from the corner.
Decorate the back as desired.
NOTE:
If desired, more circle hinges can be added to include additional sentiments, images, etc.
-
Step 6
Decorate and complete the card. The card folds flat for mailing in an A2 envelope.
