How to Make It

- Fold the card carefully.
- Decorate the front with drawings or embellishments.

Crafting Tips
Always test-print the card on ordinary paper before using premium cardstock. This helps confirm the scale, orientation, and fold position.
Use double-sided printing only when the template has been created for it. Otherwise, print a separate message panel and glue it inside the card.
