I've said it many times, I love layers! I wanted to make a card using this card map. My layout would begin with a typical A2 card base. My next layer (A, usually a solid cardstock) would be 4" x 5 1/4". The final layer would be 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".* However how do I measure and cut the angles of the small strip of paper. perfectly? I can't attach the top and bottom layers to card layer A which is 1/8" wide and attach the strip with guesstimated angles.

My solution.....
- Cut from a scrap of cardstock measuring 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". This will be used as a template and will not become part of the actual card.
- Attach the bottom piece with a little length of tape runner. You will need to remove tape later.
- Attach the top piece with a little tape runner. You will need to remove the tape later.
- Attach your strip, taping or gluing the entire strip to the two pieces.
- Trim off the strip.
- Carefully remove entire front section from card template.
- Glue to card layer 4" x 5 1/4"
