Supplies:
(2) 4 1/4" x 11" pieces of cardstock for card base
(1) 4" x 5" piece of patterned paper
(1) 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of cardstock for insert
(1) 3 1/2" x 5" piece of neutral cardstock for insert
(1) 1 1/2" x 12" piece of colored cardstock for card band
Ink
Stamps
Adhesive
More paper for accents
Corner rounder
Embellishments
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 adhesive to the rectangle back of one of the cardstock pieces.
Step 5
Tape or glue 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. I made several cards at once so I used two different prints.
Step 7
Adhere it to your card front.
Step 8
Add sticky strip (Stampin Up) or run a narrow line of glue on the bottom of the middle panel, as well as on the bottom of the triangle flap that will be on the top of the card. Tape or glue 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
Glue together.
Step 11
Stamp and add tab and other embellishments as needed. I used the tab punch from Stampin Up but you could easily make your own tab.
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 glue to the end of the strip with the small 3/4" scored section. Glue band together.
Step 14
Decorate the card band.
Step 15
Slide your band over your card.
Step 16
Add embellishments. I used stamps, versamark ink, clear embossing powder and a heat gun to make my embellishments. I punched my embellishments out with a circle punch and scallop punch (Stampin Up).
