Today's tutorial is
the card that I made for my son on his birthday.
I made this one as an
A5 card.
I will be showing the
instructions however for a C6 card
Step 1: Take a piece
of A4 card and cut in half landscape at 14.85 cm.
You will need both
pieces. turn them both landscape.
Using the 1st
piece SCORE 1cm or 3/8" from one side. Then SCORE from the
other edge
10 cm or
3,15/16"( SOOO much simpler in centimetres)!
2nd piece, CUT
1cm or 3/8" off and score as above.
Step 3:
To make the framework
you need to cut a rectangle out that is 1.5cm or 5/8" from the side
edges on the uprights and 2cm or 3/4" from the edges on the lower and top
edges. This should give you an aperture of approximately 7.1cm by 11cm.
See image above after the pieces are
cut away from the panels.
Step 4:
Place tape or glue on
the 1cm edge and join the other piece to this.
Once taped/glued
together, the panels will look like this, above after folding. Make sure that the
centre piece has a Mountain fold and the outer folds are valleys.
Step 5:
Take a piece of White
card and cut 2 pieces Landscape at 10.8cm or 4,1/4". The pieces will be
21cm or 8,1/4" long.
Step 6:
As before with the
green card, cut 1cm or 3/8" from 1 edge on 1 piece and on the other piece,
SCORE 1cm or 3/8"
on 1 edge. 1 piece will be 20cm
long and the other 21cm long.
On the 21cm panel
from the unscored edge, score at 5cm or 1,15/16" and 10cm or 3,15/16"
On the 20cm panel,
score from 1 end at the same measurements as above.
They will look like
the picture below.
Step 7:
Tape or glue on the
1cm or 3/8" edge and fix the other panel to it. Firm the folds at
this point to like like the picture below.
Note that this time
the centre panel is a Valley fold, the next 2 are Mountain and the latter 2 are
both Valley folds.
Step 8:
Decorate the White
mat as you like BEFORE feeding it through the Framework as in the
picture below.
Step 8 continued:
I used Stampin' Up!
Butterfly Gala and Watercolour Pencils for this one.

Once decorated, put
tape or glue on the outer front edges of the white card and fix this onto the
outer rear edge of the framework. 
I do hope you'll send
or post pictures of your cards on our blog or Facebook page.
Thank you for asking
for instruction. Gill X
