This is a fun and easy fold if you've never tried it, score your sheet at 4 1/4 " like usual, then score the front at 2 1/8" and fold back. Your focal point overlaps and then you add a punched shape, embellishment, or make a slit to hold it closed, (here I attached a star punch with an eyelet, and the mat tucks right under.) If you look at the pic in close up you'll see I also used the star eyelets for wheel spokes, I was so excited to see they fit, I've had these eyelets forever (and it was just what the card needed to go with this glittery star paper(both DPs are from DCVW mat packs.) It could still use a greeting in the corner, but I'm going to wait until I decide who to send it to for that... :)
