Hello. Here is the Instructions for book card I made..


1#Cut Base CS 23 1/2 cm by 16cm  (9 2/8 in X  5 1/2in)
Score long side at 11cm, @ 12 1/2cm to form card.. (4 3/8in @ 5in)


2#For insert cut 1 piece CS  14cm by 19cm. (7 1/2in X 5 1/2in)
score at 1cm @ 2cm from all sides.  (3/8in @ 6/8in)
cut out corners as shown in Pic' 2


3#Using a die, cut a frame in the middle of insert.
Cut a piece of acetate to cover the frame and 
adhere to the inside before folding.
Then  fold all scored edges in and glue to make a box shape.


4#Attach a 3D or image to the inside of the card
where the frame will be and then glue the insert 






over the image..Attach a length of ribbon to the front of card.
