Criss Cross Card

by Beate Johns

Try this twist on a pocket card and show off your patterned paper.

Supplies

Two 4 1/4" x 11" pieces of cardstock for your card base

One 4" x 5" piece of patterned paper

One 3 3/4" x 5" piece of cardstock for insert

One 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of neutral cardstock for insert

One 1 1/2" x 12" piece of colored cardstock for card band

Ink

Stamps

Adhesive

More paper for accents

Corner rounder

Embellishments

Step By Step

Step 1.
Score both 4 1/4" x 11" pieces of cardstock at 5 1/2".

Step 2.
Take one scored piece and cut it diagonally from center top to the bottom left.

Step 3.
Take the other piece of scored cardstock and cut it diagonally from the center top to the bottom right.

Step 4.
Add tape to the rectangle back of one of the cardstock pieces.

Step 5.
Tape both pieces together. Make sure both long edges of the diagonal sections are on the bottom.

Step 6.
Cut the patterned paper in half diagonally.

Step 7.
Adhere it to your card front. I used double sided patterned paper (Dashing, from Stampin' Up!). The dotted paper is on the back of the striped design.

Step 8.
Add sticky strip on the bottom of the middle panel, as well as on the bottom of the triangle flap that will be on top of the card.

Tape the card base together and set aside.

Step 9.
Take both pieces of cardstock for the insert and use the corner rounder on the top corners.

Step 10.
Tape together.

Step 11.
Stamp and add tab and other embellishments as needed.

Step 12.
Take the 1 1/2" x 12" piece of colored cardstock and score at 5 5/8" and 11 1/4".

Step 13.
Add sticky strip to the end of the strip with the small 3/4" scored section. Tape band together.

Step 14.
Decorate the card band.
