1. Card Base=8 ½” x 5 ½”
a. Score at 2 1/8” & fold the other side over to meet.
2. Add patterned paper to the both sides on the front: 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” (adding patterned paper on the inside flaps is optional—but makes your card more interesting). Pay attention to whether your final card will be vertical or horizontal when cutting your patterned paper. The center insert is the standard: 5 ¼” x 4”.
3. Next you can add a belly band or just have a punched or die cut image on the front.
a. Wrap around belly band: 1” x 10” with your seam in the front (it shouldn’t be snug; it should slide on/off easily).
b. Or just add a tag/punched image/die cut—don’t forget to emboss or stamp it to make it more interesting.
