Here are the Miura-fold cards we made tonight!
Vertical (Portrait) Card:
– Card stock base, Whisper White: 5-1/2 x 10-1/2*, score at 3 1⁄2 and 7, then score as follows. Measure 2” down from the top on the left score line and 2” up from the bottom on the right score line. Score from the corners to the mark, and from the mark to the next score line on both sides. See picture.

• * During Mystery Stamping, 2 great ideas were suggested to make this card stand up. Option 1: leave the card base 5-1/2 x 11. Score as above leaving a 1/2 on the right side. Score that 1/2 and fold it back. Option 2: Add a panel to the back of the original base that is 5-1/2 x 3-1/2. Use the cutoff triangle from the right panel to add some interest. Zoom in an Marcia’s card to see how she did that!

– DSP 2 pieces: 5-1/4 x 3-1/4
– DSP 2 pieces (needs to be a non-directional pattern): 1-3/4 x 3-1/4
– White or Vanilla: 5-1/4 x 3-1/4

Cut your large DSP pieces carefully, as the image on the left below shows. Watch the DSP pattern for the right-hand piece. Cut the 2 small DSP pieces as shown below in the middle. Be sure your cuts are opposite! Finally, if your card base is not white or vanilla, cut the insert piece as shown on the right.

Here are the lattice cards we made tonight!

Vertical card:
– Card stock(A) base (white for your first card): 4¼ x 11, scored at 5½. Cut off 6, ½” strips from one end of the card base. Use a large sticky note, painter’s tape, or wash tape to evenly space out the strips. Use 2 as the posts for the lattice.
– DSP (optional) 3 x 4¼

Here is my card. I used 3 colors and the blends to create the sunset look inside my card, behind the lattice.
