"Hi this is Karen for Expert Village. Now we are going to open the card back to its regular quarter fold card. Now you want to pop some of it out and some of it in. So the largest section on the top we want to pop out. So that means the middle fold in that large section is going to be out. The side fold you want to just crease that a little there. These two side boxes are going to pop out. So you just ease them out like that and if it needs a little help to be fold. This one also we want it to pop out. So you just get your finger behind it and pinch it a little bit and fold the card a little to get that. The middle one is going to pop in so you want to make sure that it should be already so what popped in. Then once you get it mostly the way that you want it then you just check it slowly and close it up and make sure just press it all down to get all those creases nice and firm. There you have a nice geometric card. You want to secure the ends with a little bit of double stick tape or glue. Just put a small piece of stick tape inside the corners here. Press that and that gives the cards some stability. Now with a marker you can write a message along here. We can write Happy Birthday to you. You can put anything that you want. You can even put pictures of people on a different blocks whatever kind of message you want to write for your card and decorate the front. That is a great geometric card."
