Criss Cross Fun Fold Card - Reimagined #2


How is it reimagined?
  1. The traditional Criss Cross Card uses an entire sheet of cardstock, allowing you only to get one card from an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock
  2. Uses less Designer Series Paper (pattern paper)
  3. Uses less adhesive
  4. Less postage because of less bulk
The tutorial is only available with a $50 or more Stampin' Up! product purchase using my Hostess Code. My Hostess Code can be found at the top right of blog (desktop version).  EMAIL me if you are having trouble finding my current Hostess Code. The tutorial can be purchased below for $8.95.
