Step 1:
Prepare all of your card bases. For one of the 4-1/4" x 11" pieces, fold at the second score line to make a Z fold card.
Step 2:
Cut your 6" square of DSP according to the chart. First cut in half. Then take one half and cut it in half again so you have a 3" x 3" square. Take one of these squares and cut in half diagonally and the other vertically. Take the remaining 3" x 6" piece and cut it at 4" (leaving a 2" x 3" and 4" x 3").
Step 3:
Cut your mats. Using the long strip of coordinating cardstock, cut at at 2-1/4", 4-1/4", and two 1-3/4". This will leave you with a one inch leftover. (During the filming, I made one cut wrong - my apologies! I corrected it as I assembled the pieces, but want to make sure you have the correct cuts here.) Adhere the DSP to their mats.
Card 1:
Adhere the 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" strip to the left side, leaving a small gap, then pop up the triangle piece with dimensionals. Stamp your sentiment in the lower right corner.
Card 2:
This is the Z fold card. With the card folded, adhere the DSP to the center of the card, making sure you only put glue on the left half of the DSP. Stamp your sentiment and trim to size. Add it to the center of the DSP with dimensionals.
Card 3:
Adhere the large rectangle to the card base in the center. Stamp your sentiment on a small strip, flag the ends if desired and pop this up with dimensionals in the center.
Card 4:
Adhere the two small rectangles in the top left and bottom right. Stamp your sentiment and cut with a circle punch (or other punch, or even keep it as a square). Add dimensionals and place it in the center of the card.
Card 5:
Take the remaining triangle piece and cut it into three 1" segments. Add the white layering piece to your card base with dimensionals. Add the three DSP segments as shown, using dimensionals. Stamp your sentiment and cut with a circle punch, adding it to the lower right corner with dimensionals.
Some ways to step it up just a little:
Emboss the colored strip in card 1 and the layering white piece in card 5.
Add more layers - either with a 2-1/4" circle punch (oops - I called it a 2-1/2" punch on the video!) or by adding another color cardstock cut at 1/4" larger than the mat.
Use punches for your sentiments.
Use a colored cardstock as your base instead of white - then you can use white to mat your DSP.
Remember - one way patterns are only a problem with the first card layout - it's just something to think about when picking your DSP. It's quite easy to find paper and make cards for the guys in your life - we have plenty of paper that isn't a floral or feminine!
