DSP 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 - try to pick a design that will be make a little puzzle when cut apart.
Additional DSP to to cover the envelope flap if desired. Will depend on the style of envelope you have.
Coordinated card stock - 1 rectangle 5 1/4 x 4 inches
4 rectangles 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 inches
Neutral card stock (White) - 1 rectangle 5 x 3 3/4 inches
1 card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches
Cut the DSP rectangle into 4 equal pieces by cutting along the long said at 2 1/8 then cut each 1 5/8
Arrange to match up the design and decide which of the 4 pieces you will not use. If the reverse design is subtle you may want to stamp the sentiment on that side like the Thank You card in the photo. If not, you can just stamp the sentiment on the card front or a scrap of card stock, If you stamp directly on the card front, you may want to do that before placing the other pieces so you don't smudge them with any excess ink on the stamp.
Adhere the DSP rectangles to the 4 small card stock rectangles and arrange them on the neutral rectangle to get an idea of the placement. Make sure your design matches up on the edges - hence the 'puzzle'. When you have them set, adhere them one at a time leaving the others laying there to help with placement.
If you are using the reverse of the DSP or another scrap of card stock for the sentiment, adhere it to the 4th small solid rectangle. Adhere it to the front in the open area.
Layer the neutral rectangle on the colored rectangle and then on the card front.
For the envelope, adhere a piece of DSP to the exterior side of the envelope flap. Trim off the excess DSP.
