Circle Sayings Fun Fold

Check out these fun birthday cards!
 
Which do you like better?
THIS- the Fresh Freesia one?
OR
THAT- the Azure Afternoon one?
 
Everyone attending my July monthly classes will get to make one of these cards!
This is the pattern on how I cut it.
*8 1/2 x 11" of card stock.
*Measure & lightly mark at 3" on both ends as shown.
*Then diagonally cut from mark to mark.
*You'll now have 2 card bases.
*Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool- 
score your card base as shown @ 4 1/4" & 8".
 
Below shows how I cut the layers at a diagonal-
For the diagonal fun fold birthday card here is how I cut dsp at the angle-
  1. Cut dsp, slid up about 1/2” from bottom of card stock;
  2. Carefully flipped over so didn’t move dsp & drew line along top edge;
  3. Cut off top little triangle piece with paper cutter.
*4 x 5 1/4"- lay inside card & slide upward- leaving about 1/2" showing at bottom.
*Flip this over & using a pencil- draw a line along the edge.
This is the part that you'll use your paper cutter & cut off!
*Now this is what it looks like!
It makes the perfect layer!
 
*You will "repeat" this process for both DSP layers too!
*2 3/4 x 3 1/2"- front of card flap (stars)
*3 1/2 x 4 1/4"- for middle front of card (squiggly lines)
 

Here are the supplies & measurements.
