SWEETS & TREATS FUN FOLD CARD

I remember doing this card years, I mean a lot of years, ago and it seemed like it was such a hard layout. It is really easy as long as you have  a Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer with a nice sharp cutting blade.

For those who are weak at measuring, just go as close as you can. It is really easy to know where the 16th of an inch is on the Stampin' Up! Paper trimmer, just count the little lines, or divide. So if I am looking for 13/16, I know that there are 4, sixteenths in each quarter of an inch, so it is the little line just past 3/4. 13 divided by 4 is 3 (3/4) with one left over. Sounds really simple now. Check out my video below for help on the measuring.

I love this stamp set Sweets & Treats! It is perfect for the holidays and birthdays. It also coordinates nicely with Measure of Love #154997

Measurements:
Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Basic White,

1. With 8 1/2 side at top score at 2 1/8 from each end,
2. Rotate so the 5 1/2" side is at the top, line up at 1" and cut between the two score lines
3. Flip over and do the same thing on the other edge (line up at 1" and cut between the two score lines)
4. Turn so 8 1/2" side is at the top, line up at 3 3/16, score between the cut lines
5. Flip over and do the same thing (line up at 3 3/16, score between the cut lines)
6. With 8 1/2" side at top, score at 4 1/4 from the top edge to the cut line
7. With the 8 1/2 side at top, score at 4 1/4 from the bottom edge to the cut line

See how easy that was! just follow the steps
