Diorama Card

Materials & Measurements: First measurement represents orientation. 

Colored Base Card (CSB) 7 ¼ by 5½. White cardstock (CSW) 7 ¼ by 5 ½. Designer Paper (DSP) 4 by 5 ¼. Complimentary Color cardstock for die cut pieces that represent your image, no larger than 3 ½ (across) by 2 (high).  Label of light color or white cardstock no bigger than 1 ¼ by 2. 

Steps: 

Scoring of CSB: Both 7 ¼ and by 5 ½ pieces are scored on the long side, each end, at ¾ and 1 ½ inches.

To assemble: Stamp the front of your colored cardstock. Now fold score lines of the colored cardstock, making sure the front of the card is facing you. The 1 ½ score line creates a mountain fold and the ¾ inch score line creates a valley fold.  White Cardstock will be folded in the same manner making sure the back of the card, not the inside, is facing you.  Using a die, cut out the center window with an oval, circular or any shape you like. Be sure that the die is not larger than 2 ½ by 4. If there is any stamping, you should stamp your sentiment on the label and also on the back white card.                                  

Gluing: Glue your designer paper to the inside of your white cardstock, make sure you are gluing it to the side that is concave. Now glue your ¾ inch ends together. Glue one side at a time and flatten the two pieces for easy gluing.  Now you are ready to decorate your front. Simply glue pieces to the edges and/or to the top and bottom. 

 List of tools:  A stamping Bundle, cardstock, designer paper, ink pads, snips, adhesives and cutting and scoring tool. You are ready to assemble. If you need help, you may contact me through my Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/Renees-Paper-Crafts-
