I haven't tackled any computer graphics yet so my diagrams are hand-drawn but you can click on the images to enlarge & hopefully in conjunction with the photos they will make sense. If you have any questions please just ask. I find it useful to initially make up anything new or unusual using ordinary copier paper, which is what I have used in the photos below.

2. With the short side to the left score vertically at ¾, 1½, 2½, 3½, 4¾, 6 & 8¾ inches.
3. Mountain fold the unbroken lines (at ¾, 2½, 4¾, & 8¾ inches).
Valley fold the broken lines (at 1½, 3½ & 6 inches).
4. This is the basic frame which can then be decorated as desired.
5. The 5 inch measurement can easily be adjusted as I did with mine to accommodate exactly 5 hearts so
my width was 4 & thirteen sixteenths of an inch. The back panel I decorated & secured to the last
step was this width & 5 inches in height.

Great tutorial Paula - very easy to follow and I may well have a play! I really like the card you made - so pretty!!!
I think you're very brave having a cup of coffee on your desk! I'm so cack-handed that I'd probably knock it over!!
LOVE this tutorial!! You did a wonderful job of explaining things. I'm going to save this for whenever I DO get around to making one of these!! :) How sweet of your hubby to bring you a cup of coffee while you're working. I however have a strict NO FOOD or DRINK policy!! LOL I just KNOW me or one of the babies will knock it over and make a mess and ruin something...or everything. Is it crazy that just looking at all of your Copic's on your desk makes me so happy?!?! :) Have a wonderful week my friend.
