Vertical/Portrait card OR Horizontal/Landscape (makes 2 cards)
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
Cardstock Base: (colored or white)
– 2 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score long side at 4-1/4
Optional cardstock layer:
– 2 @ 5-1/4 x 4
DSP:
– 2 @ 5 1/4 x 4 if NOT using the optional cardstock layer, cut in half both directions 2-5/8 by 2
-1 @ 5 x 3 3/4 if using the optional cardstock layer, cut in half both directions 2-1/2 x 1-7/8

Cutting the DSP:
if using directional paper, be sure to cut carefully. Line up the 2 pieces of DSP small rectangles, cut one pair from top left corner to bottom right. Line up the next 2 pieces and cut top right corner to bottom left corner. See the picture

If making the horizontal card, cut the small rectangles the same way, but with the rectangles wider than they are taller. I don’t want my airplanes to fly upside down! See below.

Then lay out the cut rectangles in a pinwheel design and adhere to either the card base or the card layer.

Decorate the card with a die cut or stamped image that coordinates with your DSP! Add a white panel inside for your message, if needed.
