Supplies & Directions for Classic Version

• 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” cardstock for card base
• 2” x 8” cardstock same color as card base
• 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” DSP (4)
• 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” Basic White (2)
• die cut focal point no larger than

1. Score at 2-1/8”, 4-1/4”, and 6-3/8” along the 8-1/2” edge of the card base. 
2. Fold in half on the 4-1/4” score lines then fold the 2-1/8” and 6-3/8” score in the opposite direction creating an “M”. This makes a folding panel that will stand on its own.
3. Score the 2” x 8” strip at 2”, 3”, 5” and 6”. Fold all the score lines in the same direction. Add adhesive to the 2” sections of the strip. 
4. Adhere the strip to the card base. Line up the 2” score line with the 2-1/8” score line on the card base. (Note: there will be 1/8” gap on the underside between the strip and the middle score line. Then do the same thing on the other side lining up the 6” score line with the 6-3/8”. The card base will not lay flat when open. 
5. Attach the die cut to the middle section of the strip making sure the flat edge is even with the bottom edge of the card base. 
6. Attach the 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” Basic White pieces on the back side for personal message.
