Criss Cross Card

Supplies:
8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Cardstock (Base)
4" x 5-1/4" Designer Paper (Front)
4-1/2" x 3-1/2" Cardstock (Insert)
Papercutter
Scoring Tool
Adhesive (Snail and Sticky Strip)
Paper, Punches, Stamps, Embellishment for Decorating!

 Start by scoring the 8-1/2" side of the Base cardstock at 4-1/4"

 Line up the corner from the top of the score line to the bottom of the opposite corner in your cutting line on the paper cutter and cut.

 Flip over the cut piece and place in front of the card. Do not adhere yet!

 Cut the Designer paper diagonal in the same manner and adhere to the Cardstock.
Now you can adhere your cut piece to the Base.  I used Sticky Strip on the Right side, the Left side and Bottom only.  Do not adhere the diagonal sides.  You want the card to perform as a pocket.

 Now you can add your insert piece by simply slipping it inside the card base.

This card was an invitation for a little girls party, so I added a flap with ribbon and made it look like a little purse.  When you open it, you can take out the insert.

Flap:

5-1/2" x 3" Designer Paper

score at 3/4"

Add Ribbon for a handle

Adhere to back of card

 These were made for my boys to put their Christmas Wish Lists in!
