Easy card using DSP - half sheet 12x12

We all have a stash of beautiful paper and I was inspired by a colleague ( Julia Leeper) to create these cards using a half sheet of 12 x 12 DSP . 

These are a great way to use up some of that paper stash.

• cut DSP 6 x 12 being mindful of directional patterns
• score your DSP at 3 and 9 inches
• mark the midpoint on each end and score the paper from the midpoint to each side at the 3"score line. 
• fold to inside and adhere to create triangle point
• cut cardstock to 51/2 x 51/2 and white 51/4 x 51/4 and adhere to inside.
• cut front square cardstock 41/4 x 41/4 and white 4 x 4
• adhere to the right flap being mindful of glue placement
• optional DSP triangles to cover inside flaps 33/4 x33/4 square cut diagonally

 

As this makes quite a large card and was too big for the square envelopes in my collection, I redrafted a smaller version which is easier to post.

DSP 5 x 10, score at 21/2 and 71/2

Cardstock for inside 41/2 x 41/2

white Mat for inside 41/4 x 41/4

cardstock square for front of card 31/2 x 31/2

White mat for front 31/4 x 31/4

It's a versatile and easy fold to make, and you can decorate the front any way you choose.

I hope you have fun with this fold,

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"
