Or
Using a 6.5" x 10" piece of cardstock and score down the middle at 5"
On the TOP edge of FRONT of card measure in 3" from the fold of the card and pencil a tiny mark. Cut the FRONT from that mark to the bottom right corner. Save the piece you cut off!!!

On the top edge measure 2.75" from the left and pencil a tiny mark. Cut from that mark to the bottom right corner. Save the piece you cut off!!!
Cut a piece of patterned paper 4.5" x 6" (if using 6" x6" paper, save the 1.5" x 6" for small triangle)
