Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.

Get ready to dig through your paper stash!! You don’t need full quarter sheets for these cards! Yes, these, we are making 3 cards in a very short time!
The key to these cards is your DSP.  I would use double-sided and mostly non-directional with 2 smallish patterns and 1 maybe medium.  You can use 3 smallish patterns, too.

Clue #1   …  Gather your supplies: All measurements in inches.  This is a portrait/vertical card.

Cardstock Base A: Based on your DSP.  Can be the same or different.
3 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
Cardstock B:Based on your Card base and DSP choices.  Can be the same or different.
3 @ 5-1/4 x 4
DSP: Double-sided DSP is probably best. 
3 @ 4-3/4 tall x 3-3/4 wide
Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 5 x 4-1/4 for the inside if your card base is dark
Focal point: I would add a sentiment for the front of the card. 
OPTIONAL: Die cut(s) 

Stack all 3 pieces of your DSP together and mark the top sheet as shown below. Then cut on the lines from side to side.

Here are my 3 cards with the 3 patterns. You can see each one is at the top, middle and bottom on the 3 cards.

You can also turn over the DSP if there is a pattern there that you like better.

This is a card I learned about from Nancy Legate, a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. She is so generous in sharing this with me!

BASE: Colored OR White/Vanilla Card Stock (CS)
– 1 @ 5 x 7, Score long side at 1-3/4 & 5-1/4. Score short side at 1-1/4 & 3-3/4 (or 1-3/4 from each end) (or 1-1/4 each end). SOLID lines are CUT. DASHED lines are SCORED. Make a tick mark on the bottom score line as shown @ 2-1/2.

Designer Series Paper (DSP): You need TWO different sets of each of the cuts below. My card uses two multi-directional papers.
– 1 @ 2-3/8 Wide x 5 Tall, tick at bottom @ 1-3/16; tick at both top sides @ 1-1/2. Cut as shown.
– 1 @ 4-1/2 Wide x 3-1/4 Tall, tick at bottom @ 2-1/4; tick at both top sides @ 1-1/16.
– 1 @ 4-1/2 Wide x 1-5/8 Tall, cut into 4 pieces each at 1-1/8 x 1-5/8.
– 1 @ 2-3/8 Wide x 1-5/8 Tall

When both sets of DSP are cut, adhere to each side like this:

To turn this into a tree, start by bringing the point up:

Fold the sides out:

Plus you can start with the other side and your tree will look like this:
