For the uninitiated, which included me until a few days and one Donna ago, please watch this brief video from the wonderful Lucy. She demonstrates making these little shaped cards so well!
Here is a shot of the back of the card that I shared yesterday. As you can see the score is about 1/4 inch from the top. The adhesive is sandwiched inside the card. You need to make sure that you use really good adhesive as the person opening the card may not realise that this isn't a traditional 'folded' card.
Here is the front again, with the addition of the Hero Arts sentiment.
Donna suggested adding the image after assembling your card. I think that's a really good idea. By doing this you can make sure everything is positioned correctly. With the 'squarer' shaped card that Lucy makes in the video I don't think this would matter as much.
This card was delivered today to thank my parents for a wonderful Christmas Day, fabulous food and their lovely gifts.Happy crafting everyone, go get those Nesties!

Great idea to show the back of the card...I'll bet your parents enjoyed receiving it, too.
Thanks for the hot tip DJ! Beth
Thak's for sharing your find....
I was a little puzzled myself as to how it was done.
What you up to today, Pete's gone to work, and the boy's are in bed, these day's they don't rise till after lunch.
I am having a play with the note box, It's not going to plan and is taking me forever... I got some Gesso and crackle paint and was not sure how to use it, so it's had load's of coat's... I think with a little more experiment, I will finish, most of my project's tend to be happy accident's, so I am waiting for the accident I will be happy with...lol.
I was thinking of Wednesday or Thursday for our visit to Wendy's, what you think...
As I said Pete's gone back to work, so just getting back to normal here...
Your in my thought's....
