Theme: Not your standard card Square, tall and skinny or even a circle, the choice is yours.

I love making square card. So I decided to share one we made at out Cancer Retreat this year.

Step 1 Base Card: I used Mint Macaron Card and cut at 29.5cm by 14cm.
Step 2 Place the 29.5cm to top of Paper trimmer and sore at 14cm then turn card around and score at 14cn

Step 3 Line up edge of front card on paper trimmer at 2.5cm

Line up the score at the 2.5cm and score down to 11.5cm do all 4 sides.

(May need to turn card over to score its ok)

Step 4 Line up edge of front card on paper trimmer at 4cm.

Line up the score at 4cm score down to 10cm.

(You Can use a bone folder instead of the score tool )

Step 5. Working on the back of front card.

Mark the outside score square with a pencil in each corner.

Line up the two pencil marks to make a cross.

Place on the paper trimmer and cut from top right corner to bottom left corner

Should look like photo above.

Fold on all score line using bone folder.

Step 6 Cut two 9cm x 9cm in Mint Macaron card stock.

One is for the front of cross and one for back of cross.

(Check photo below which is the back)

Cut a 8.5cm x 8.5cm in DSP for the front which will go over the

Mint Macaron 9cm x 9cm for centre front.

Cut one Basic Black 8cm x 8cm
