NOTECARD FOLDER

Choose desired DSP – NB check any patterns and that the two sides coordinate well

A) Score DSP on reverse side (with any pattern upwards) at 1 7/8 “, 5 ¾ “, 6 ¼, and 10 1/8”

B) Turn DSP through 90 degrees and score at 2 ½” and 8 ¼”

Fold the original (A) two side folds inwards. Open out the paper again then turn each corner up and fold in to the edge of the score line – be careful not to go over it.

Flip your paper over and fold back on the two score lines (B). Tuck larger part into the smaller part (or vice versa!) to form the inner part of folder.

Fold the remaining centre score lines to form the spine of the pouch.

Decorate as required – I used the Decorative Label punch for the sentiment

Lipsticks
