Cardmaking Instructions

I begun with a sheet of card measuring 11 inch by 8 1/4 inch. On the long side this was scored at 2 3/4 and 8 1/4



The card was flipped, so short side is at the top and scored between the original score lines only at 1 3/4 and 6 1/2


The card was flipped again so the long side is back at the top and in the outer panels only it was scored at 5 1/2


Keeping the long edge at the top, score in the middle panel only at 3 3/4 and 7 1/4


Turn the paper again so short side is at the top and cut the 2 vertical lines in the centre panel only


Fold score lines, see photo below for reference



Matts and layers were added. These measure

(x4) Matts - 8 by 2 1/2 inch, Layers 7 3/4 by 2 1/4 

(x4) Matts 2 1/2 by 1 1/2, Layers 2 1/4 by 1 1/4

(x2) Matts 4 1/2 by 3/4, Layers 4 1/4 by 1/2



A piece of stamping card was cut to measure 4 inch by 3 inch and the sentiment and images were stamped and coloured. This was then adhered onto a Matt measuring 4 1/4 by 3 1/4 and adhered onto the centre panel

A piece of white measuring the same was also adhered onto the back of this panel as somewhere to write the message.

A belly band was created by using a piece of navy card measuring 11 by 1 inch and a piece of teal measuring 11 by 3/4 inch. These were adhered together and folded around the closed card and glued in the middle.

The jumbo sentiment was cut and adhered over the join in the belly band


The image panel was then finished with glossy accents and nuvo drops
