Instructions: Click here to see a closeup view of this card. To make this card start by taking a piece of white cardstock 5 1/2" x 11". You will need to create 2 cut lines so starting from the top measure down 3/4" and draw a 5" long line from 4 3/4" to 9 3/4". Now repeat this but measure up 3/4" from the bottom. This is the line that you will need to cut to allow the card to fold. Now score at the 3 1/2" and 7 1/4" marks the full length of the card. The final score lines are between the cut lines only at the 4 3/4", 6", 8 1/2" and 9 3/4" marks. When completed your card base should look like shown here Once your card base is complete cover the card in slightly smaller pieces of designer paper from the Tropical Paradise Paper Collection.
