Christmas in Pink

 This is a 5 x 5 arrow point sketch card that can be found here:  SC823 This is the splitcoaststampers site with fabulous ideas. Their instructions are for a 6 x 6 card.

Here are my instructions for a 5 x 5 card. Start with a car stock that is  10" x 5", score at 5".

Open up your card and put a center pencil mark at 2 1/2 inches, this the center of the front of your card then measure down 2 1/2 inches on each side of the card and put a pencil mark. Now score with your scoring tool from the 1st corner to the center mark on each side, then score from the 2 1/2 inch mark to the center mark. 

Now fold the long score to the inside and the short score to the the outside.  

You will have a hill and a valley fold. Then fold in and then the short edge folds out.

This is what mat 1 and 2 will look like. draw a line from mat 1 from the center pencil mark at 2 1/2 inches to the outer edge. 

Mat one is 4 3/4 x 4 3/4,  put a pencil mark in the center at  2 3/8 inches and draw a line on each side from the center mark to the outer corner edge of the card. Do this on each side. 

Do the same for mat 2. put a pencil mark at the center which is 2 1/4 inches, cut both. I always draw my pencil lines on the back of the paper, make sure you have your paper fancing in the correct direction before marking or cutting from the backside.
