Front Fold Card Instructions
- First score the cardstock at 4-1/4″ to form your card base.
- Then take the dsp and on the 5-1/4″ side, use your snips to cut a slit in the middle about 1-1/4″ long (refer to photo)
3. Next, fold back the DSP on both sides.
4. Attach the DSP to the front of the card base.
5. Stamp the sentiment on the focal point (ie: circle, hexagon or whatever you pick). Add the focal point to the exposed cardstock.
6. Finally add some embellishments.
