Clue #1:

  • Trimmer w/scoring blade
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Stamp set/s with coordinating dies if you like
  • Designer Series Paper of your choice (DSP)
  • Ink pads that coordinate with the DSP
  • Cardstock colors that coordinate with the DSP as well as Basic White or Beige
  • Adhesives
  • Embellishments of your choice

Clue #2: This will be a landscape style card with the opening on the bottom. Cut and prep initial pieces.

Clue #3 The card base cut 4-1/4" x 5."

Clue #4 Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5-1/4" adhere to card base.

Clue #5 Basic White or Beige cs cut 4" x 11" score @ 3-3/4" and 7-1/2."

Clue #6 In the portrait position, with the largest section at the top, fold the score line closest to the bottom up toward the top. Then fold the score line closest to the top down towards the bottom. Close the flaps, and you will open them in this manner: open the first flap up, and the next flap down.

Clue #7 Adhere the the panel fold you just made to the card front so that the largest panel is on the top/front, with an even border on the top, right and bottom edges.

Clue #8 Cut DSP 3-3/4" x 3-1/2" and adhere to the top panel (the largest one).

Clue #9 Cut DSP 3-3/4" x 3-1/4" and adhere to the outside of the the panel that has an opening at the top. (After opening the first panel up, you see the second panel which you will open down. This is the one that gets this size DSP.)

Clue #10 Cut cardstock 3-3/4" x 7/8" and adhere to the left side of the card front, so that there is an equal border at the top, left, and bottom edges. There will also be a border to the right between this piece and the three panel fold.

Clue #11 Cut DSP 3/4" x 3-5/8" and adhere to the skinny little cardstock panel on the card front.

Clue #12 Turn the card base over and on the back, adhere a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock to the back of the card base. Then cut a 1" x 4" piece of DSP and adhere it to the left side of the white layer.

Clue #13 Stamp greeting and sentiment, any images and diecuts that you'd like to embellish your card.
