This tutorial only uses a half sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock as well as a matching scrap of paper. Usually matchbook cards need a 12" x 4 1/4" strip, but by adding the scrap for additional length, you can use smaller paper.
Supplies:
11" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock
4 1/4" x 3 7/8" piece of scrap cardstock to match
Score the 11" x 4 1/4" strip at the 1" mark and fold. With the folded end on the 0" mark, score at 5 1/2".
Fold card at the 5 1/2" score line.
Measure 1/2" up from the folded edge and 2 1/8" from the left edge, mark and center staple over mark.
Place your 4 1/4" x 3 7/8" scrap under the fold to the staple. Adhere. This will extend the length of your base card, allowing you to tuck it in like a matchbook.
Decorate and you're finished. Please see my blog for additional information: bluebirdflats.blogspot.com
