Cut a piece of White cardstock 5 ½ x 11. Score at 5 ½, turn and score from one corner to the score line you just made. This makes the twisted part. Cut a 5 ½ x 5 ½ square out of white cardstock, this will be the front of the card.

Step 2: Cut one sheet of the HCDP1-2104 Candlelit Christmas paper into (3) 5 1/4 x 5 1/4” pieces. Cut one of those pieces from corner to corner to create two triangles.
