Once in a while I participate in a swap with my up, up, up, up, up, upline--that's 6 levels up from me. The group leader is gracious enough to allow me to join in on the swapping fun even though I'm not really in her group. A little online research led me to a PDF by Robin Messenheimer and a video by Kelly Gettelfinger (see below).
On the front of my twisted card before I added the DSP, I taped down the front flap so it doesn't have a pocket--I didn't want the flap underneath the DSP to buckle the DSP. There is a pocket on the inside, which would be great for a gift card, a tea bag, or a Ghirardelli chocolate square. Of course, you can have a pocket on the outside if you want to. As a demonstrator, it could be a really cute networking tool with your business card tucked inside--pass out to potential customers. Now, I do not go into a lot of details about how to make this card. You're resourceful--you can watch the video below or search for Robin's PDF mentioned above. So sorry for any inconvenience, but why reinvent the wheel, or card in this case?
Start with 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock.
Cut in half at 11 x 4 1/4.
(yikes--sorry about the glare!)
Score corner to corner.
Score in half.
Cut DSP same way.
Here's the video created by Kelly Gettelfinger.
