I cannot stress this enough - make a sample or two up. Angles are tricky, if you mark slightly different than measurements and cut the angle not as accurate, your angles will not match. Angles are tricky when you are using different weight of cardstock and DSP. The folds of heavy cardstock take up space. Like I said - Angles are tricky.
