Cut the coloured piece of card so that it's as tall as the card you want to create, and twice as wide. Then fold it in half down the centre, and lay it down with the fold at the side. You've made your basic card shape.

Folding card like this makes it stronger. Try making a card that stands up from a thin piece of paper. You can fold the thin paper to give it extra strength.

Now cut your piece of white card into a rectangular shape that will fit on the front of the card.
