Happy 34th Birthday Ross

The tutorial for the Inside Out Card was designed Mixed Up Crafts card that Sam Calcott had shared on her site. And is MODIFIED from the 6x6design she shared.

Cut 2 pieces of solid cardstock 5" x 5 1/2".  Along the 5 1/2" side, score both at 1/2". Burnish.
Cut 1 piece 4 3/4" x  4 3/4" for back piece. (A sentiment may be placed there, or a note)
Cut 1 piece 4 3/4" x  4 3/4" for front piece...that says "Please Turn me inside out"
Cut 1 piece 4 3/4" x  4 3/4" for 'Happy Birthday' sentiment.
Cut 1 piece 4 3/4" x  4 3/4" for inside back piece.

The placement of the embellishments, and mats and the mechanism for the Inside Out flop over flap can be tricky. Tip:  gently and lightly TACK your 4 3/4" pieces lightly with removable tape, and be careful to adhere the acrylic supported graphics to the correct side of the 1/2 inch side of the paper. (use thick acrylic packaging cut in strips ...not window acrylic weight.

When the card is open, the back flap becomes an easel perch for the card

Happy Medicare Birthday Jimmy

You get a better understanding of the best way to run your life.
