Measurements

Instructions
- Score 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.
- 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.
- Stamp and decorate the back pieces or add a handwritten message if desired. Glue them to the two back panels.
- 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.
- 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.
- Decorate and complete the card. The card folds flat for mailing in an A2 envelope.
