MMM - Mid-week Motivation - Recessed Window Card Tutorial

I was asked to do a tutorial for the card I made for Monday's dt line-up. So here it is - hope you like it.

 Take a piece of card stock 5" x 101/4". Score your card stock at 5" and 51/4". Fold your card and crease well with a bone folder
 Open your card and on the inside draw in the diagonal lines with a pencil. Decide how big you want your aperture to be and draw in the square. Now draw a second square inside the first 1/4" in from each side. Score both squares with an embossing tool.
Now cut on the diagonal lines ONLY within the two squares. You can now rub out all of your pencil lines.
Bend the outside score lines in and then fold the second score lines the opposite way. Crease these folds well with a bone folder.
Take a piece of card stock a cut to the size of your front aperture - you may need to trim it a tiny bit smaller for it to fit comfortably.
Your Recessed Window Card is now ready for decorating.
