Take 2 square cards
I have used 144 x 144 square but any size will do. Cut one of them an inch away
from the fold.
|
||||||
Stick them together adhere the inch strip behind the whole card |

Cut 2 triangles from both fronts The easiest way is to put the card into a trimmer and line up the 2 diagonals (top left and side and bottom right hand side and reverse) |

Cover front 2 triangles with PP - I always ink
the edges of mine before I stick them down TIP
use the off cut triangle place under PP and use as a template you can just
see the edge of the cream triangle under the PP - I then marked 2 pencil lines
and cut . |
|||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From one of the off cut triangles make an strip about an inch wide and then cover with a slightly narrower piece of PP cut your strip from the widest point as it needs to go across the card. Stick to card and then tie ribbon all the way round card and knot finish with a fancy brad/button or similar |
||||||
|
Using the rectangle off cut the piece you 1st cut off the card - make an insert I rounded the corners on this makes it easier to pull in and out. Make a tab cut some PP 2 inches square and fold in ½ and round corners whilst PP is double |
||||||
|
Stick to rectangle and then cover with PP this then hides the edge. My PP was put through a cuttle bug embossing folder no need though!! ONLY stick one side of TAB down. |
||||||
|
Use a pokey tool and adhere fancy brads to the tab and then stick flap of tab down to cover the backs |
||||||
|
|

|
Here are the two parts finished. |
