Card Fold Template
1. Start with a piece of double-sided paper measuring 12" x 8". Choose paper that is thick and sturdy and with a pattern that is the same when viewed either sideways or longways.
2. Using the template above, score along all the dashed lines and cut along the solid line. Fold and press all the scored lines.
3. Fold and press the top left triangular section of paper toward the front, and fold and press the lower right triangular section of paper toward the back along the score lines as shown in the picture below.
4. Apply double-sided tape to the top left triangular section of paper as shown in the picture below. Remove the backing from the tape and press the triangle down adhering it to the paper below.
5. Apply another piece of double-sided tape from the diagonal fold to the edge of the cut you made earlier. See picture below.
6. Fold the entire piece to the right and adhere to the paper below.
7. Apply double sided tape to the bottom right quadrant of the card, starting just below the centre line and ending before the diagonal score line. Refer to the picture below.
8. Remove the backing from the tape and fold the bottom half up adhering it to the top section.
9. Apply more tape to the triangular piece of paper that is now in the top right corner. Remove the backing paper from the tape and fold the section down. The two pockets will now be revealed.
