Another simple card this week with Father's Day looming and little time to really play :(As with last week, it's just a case of dividing your card up. This time you are scoring at 1/4 and 3/4 along the length. So a 6" square finished card would be scored at 3" and 9" I have done an A5 finished card, so started with an A4 piece of card. Now I have a M&F score board which has the score lines marked. However, don't be deterred if you don't have one. Just trim the length of your card into something that is divisible by 4. So in this case, 28cms. You would then score at 7cms and 21 cms. As you are only trimming a small amount off, it won't be noticeably smaller than the A5.
Any mats are only attached by one half of their reverse, to allow the card to open. It doesn't really matter which side, or if you have multiples, you could have them attached to different sides. I have attached both my greeting and picture to the left front face, but I could have for example, attached the greeting to the right face. The additional circular sentiment is only attached to the picture mat.
Again, follow the basic principles for dividing your card, and you will find endless possibilities. A longer narrower piece to begin with, could produce a landscape card. Whereas a square piece will create a taller, slimmer card.
