Instructions:

1)     Cut a card base 4 ¼” x 11”, score at 5 ½”

2)     Mats for the outside of the card are 2 ¾” sq and 2 ½” sq

3)     Mats for the inside of the card are 4” x 5 ¼” and 3 ¾” x 5”

4)     Create a cutting template 3” sq as shown, this will be the cutting guide for the top right corner of your card base.  

        You will cut from the 3” mark up to ⅝” from the top and right edges of the card.

5)     Once this cut has been made you will gently push the inside point of the corner up toward the top right corner.  

         The two uncut ⅝” sections will fold at an angle to make the “flip fold”.

6)     Decorate the card as you like.

Here is the most simple design using DSP for the focal image and a single mat layer. 

Now let’s step it up and double mat the focal image and the inside mat.

Or what if we fussy cut a focal image?  This DSP has some great images that can be fussy cut.

There is also a coordinating embossing folder.  What if we added some embossing and decorated the inside a bit more?  Did you know that you can emboss your DSP as well as cardstock?

How about taking the design to the extreme?  I pulled out the glitter specialty paper and made one layer sparkle!  Also let’s add an embossed element to the inside mat.

I couldn’t stop at five cards.  I was unable to attend the On Stage event in Houston this year so I made a 25 cards for my team leader, Nancy BcBee, to take with her for swaps.
