- Next cut a piece of acetate slightly smaller than A2 size to slide into the sleeve. This will give the panel the rigidity and strength it needs to stand.
- Pour your sequins/confetti bits into the sleeve ( I like to make sure they are on top of the acetate to decrease the bulk).
- Cut off the top of the bag, leaving it about one inch taller than the panel (6.5 inches for an A2 vertical card). The top of the bag will create the hinge for the back panel.
- Fold the overhang of the Cello Bag (1 Inch) over the top of the upside-down card base and crease the Clear Bag fold with your fingernails. This will create the flap that you will be sandwiched between the card base.
- Cut the corners off the top of each side of the clear bag. Make sure to cut above the line that you just creased.
- Add two strips of double-sided tape to the card base. One just under the edge of the card base and one ½’ below that one.
- Remove the protective piece from the double-sided tape. Center and align the Clear Bag in front of the upside-down card front and press the cello flap down onto the double-sided tape.
- Just above the creased area of the cello bag add another strip of double-sided tape to seal it up and keep sequins from falling out of the bag. For extra insurance, you can add a piece of tape over the edge of the flap.
- Add glue or double-sided tape along the edges of the front panel to glue the card base together.
If you have been following me, you will know I have made many of these see-through cards in the past as I came up with this technique. If you want to see other versions of them including quick videos, click 👉here or here for similar versions to previous posts.
