Card Construction

1. Cut 3” X 6” pieces card stock.
2. Score at 1 ½” from both ends and fold toward the middle.
3. Crease these two pieces thoroughly, unfold and re-crease from the opposite side.
4. Place two pieces horizontally on work surface.
5. Place the other two pieces vertically on top of the first two pieces. Make certain that all outside edges match as closely as possible. * It is important that the crease lines match.*
6. Carefully adhere the common corners of all four sides, use the strong embossing tape.
7. Card construction is now complete.
8. Be mindful to plan the placement of the stamped images or photos before actually putting them in place, because the opening of the card reveals another area. It is very important to plan carefully!
