About Me
- Jean Thomas
- Hi. I am a first grade teacher and an avid card maker. I love to be creative in both ways. I have been teaching for 25 years. I have been a first grade teacher, second grade teacher, third grade teacher and reading specialist. I have loved all of these jobs. I have an undergraduate degree in elementary education and a master's degree in early childhood education. I am certified in Reading Recovery instruction and have National Board certification. I like to teach my students to make cards for special occassions, like I do. It is a fun hobby and a special way to communicate. I even sell my cards at school. I am a volunteer at the Frazee Dream Center and am thankful for the help and support they provide to our students. I hope to use this blog to keep parents involved in their child's school life, to motivate students and increase their knowledge of technology, and to interact with our blog audience.

Jean,
I love this! Can you tell me where I can get the dimesions for both outer and insert cards? I would live to use this as a gift card holder for the tweenagers in my life!
Hi,
This is called a criss cross card. I don't know if you looked at my older posts, but there are 5 more posted earlier. I love making them.
Here are the directions.
2 pieces of 4 1/4 x 11 cardstock
score each at 5 1/2 inches
1 piece of 4x5 designer paper, cut in 1/2 diagonally
Cut the 2 large pieces in opposite diagonal directions from the scored mark.
Overlap the 2 square pieces and tape together.
Fold the slanted pieces, and tape along the bottom.
Tape the designer paper on top of the slanted pieces.
Insert: 3 3/4 x 5
top layer of insert: 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
Wrap a "belly band" 1 1/2 x 12 around the card or wrap ribbon around it.
These are great for gift cards or recipes. Have fun making it!
Jean
