1.  Cut a piece of cardstock 10" x 5.5" and score at 5" along the 10" width.



2.  Mark with a pencil at 2.5" along the top length  of card. (Mark this point at the base of card sock as well) Mark the midway point down the short side of cardstock. For this card size it will be 2.75"


3.  Using a pencil draw lines  from the 5" score line down to the side middle point and also from the 2.5" mark down to the middle point as shown below.


4.  Now score on these lines using a scoring tool and fold cardstock in half along the 5" score line as show below.

A gorgeous card and fold, and your instructions are just wonderful! I've tried to follow tutorials in magazines but am never able to figure them out. You use lighting to clearly show the direction of folds, and the 3-D aspect of your card, which makes it so easy to follow. Thank you!
