Crossover Card AND a GIVEAWAY!!

For more info on the giveaway see the bottom of this post.



This is a fun card, based on one that was given to me by my wonderful Stampin' Up! team member Maree (thanks Maree!).


How to make it?


1. Cut an A4 sheet in half lenthwise.

2. Score 10cm in from either side, so it's basically divided into thirds.

3. The outside thirds now need to be trimmed so they resemble triangles instead of squares. I found it easier to just line the corners up on my trimmer and then slice from point to point. You can't miss! Once you get started this will all make sense :) No, really it will!!!

4. Then simply fold the 2 sides in over the centre. Adhere the bottoms if you wish, so the card doesn't fall out.

5. Insert and decorate the card (mine was 9cm x 9cm), and stamp or decorate the outside using the gorgeous Designer Series papers.


Now, for the GIVEAWAY!!!

Simone you've done it again. Not only do you do amazing things, you also make it seem so easy. Even this old girl was able to follow the instructions and make it look half repectable. Now, how many times can I enter? Love Mum.
