CARD NUMBER ONE: one sheet of 12x12 double sided paper or two complimentary patterned papers adhered together.
STEP ONE: cut a piece the piece of 12x12 in half making sure the pattern (stripes or flowers for example) runs across the 12 inch side.

STEP THREE: On the left side of the two adhered strips, make a mark approximately 2 inches from the bottom of the paper
STEP FOUR: Using a yard stick or a regular ruler (or even two end to end), draw a line from the top of the right hand side down to the 2 inch mark on the left end. (some options: use a curvy or wavely ruler to create your line, cut the straight line with deco scissors like I did or use a border punch on the cut line when you are done). Cut the line.

Step Five: With a scoring blade in your cutter, score the card every 8 inches starting on the left side. Fold into three sections . (options: if you do not have a scoring blade or a Score It, insert the paper into your cutter and, using a pointed but not sharp object run it down the cutter between the guides. I find the cap to a Bic pen quite effective).
