Just Because

This card is sooo incredibly easy to make and so flexible.  Use any Designer Paper that you like both sides, pick a coordinating color cardstock for the base,  a single line sentiment, and that's pretty much it.  I opted to add the coordinating ribbon but not a necessary touch. Have fun with it.

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

1. Fold and burnish your card base (4 1/4” x 11” scored at 5 1/2”)
2. Take your (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) piece of DSP Fold forward at an angle; trim excess on right.
3. Temporarily position it on your card front and use a pencil to draw the diagonal line so you know where to stamp your sentiment.
4. Stamp the sentiment just above the line. (Once the ink is dry, erase the pencil line.)
5. Now adhere the DSP to your card front 
6. Take your ribbon wrapping it around the flap and tying a knot or bow on the front.  (I used tear and tape to adhere the ribbon to the underside.)
7. Place a couple of Dimensionals® on the underside of the flap to adhere it down.
8. Adhere the thin strip of DSP to the inside of your card along the bottom,
9. Embellish the front with a couple of gems.  
10. Adhere the additional strip of DSP to the flap of your envelope to have it coordinate.
