Criss Cross Card
The criss cross card has been around for a long time. You can keep your card simple or embellish it as much as you like. All images are from Digital Delights.
Cut two 4 1/2″ x 11″ pieces of cardstock
Score both pieces at 5 1/2″
Place your cardstock in at an angle as shown.
Trim your cardstock after placing the cardstock in an angle.
Your two pieces of cardstock should look like this.
Fold trimmed pieces of cardstock inwards.
Glue the back of one of the trimmed cardstock and adhere to look like the photo above.
You will need two pieces of designer paper, size 3 1/4″ x 5″. Cut each piece of DP on an angle as shown above. Be sure to cut each piece in a different direction so that both pieces of DP are upright.
Adhere your DP to the card as shown.
Fold flaps over to create a criss cross. Adhere along the bottom of the right flap. Adhere along the bottom of the left flap, and from the pencil down to the bottom.
Criss cross is now finished. It’s time to add the card insert.
Take a 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ (shown here in pink) and mat it with 3 3/4″ x 5″
To create a band, cut cardstock to 1 1/2″ x 12″. Score at 5 5/8″ x 1 1/4″.
Along one side, glue as shown. Wrap around the card and put pressure on the glued side to the non glued side. Your band is now complete.
The band will look like this. Embellish as desired.
The inside of the card is now decorated.
