Tutorial - Double Up Cards

I've printed my worksheets onto white linen cardstock and the insert on double sided pearlescent paper and cut them all out. You'll also need an extra A4 sheet of card stock to create the card base, this you score and fold in half then trim to 15cm wide x 12.5cm high.  

Here's my card base cut to size. Next cut 1 of the half's in half (this will be the front of the base card)
and pierce a hole through all layers. 

Get a short length of ribbon, thread through the hole in the front and secure the loose end (as shown above)
and continue to thread it through the back, adjust the length of the ribbon to how far open you will want your 
card to stand open, secure the ribbon off at the back the same way as the front.

Smear UHU glue over the front (as shown)

and keeping your base front layer straight and level at the bottom, attach 

While that's drying prepare the back card by scoring down the middle line on any line on your score board.
In the picture above I've also rounded off the 4 corners. Fold and crease, and I like to round off the corners at the fold too.
Attach your insert into this card.

and attach the whole thing to the back of your card

Attach the second front of the card and decorate as you wish
