   Repeat on the two pieces of 2” x 4” white cardstock.
   

3. Step 3

   Using your paper trimmer, create tapered base edges by cutting from your pencil marks to the opposing corners. 
   
   Repeat on two pieces of 2” x 4” white cardstock.
   

4. Step 4

   Attach acetate circle to the tapered base.

   Attach one tapered white cardstock base to the backside of the patterned paper base, hiding the glued edge of the acetate circle.

   The second tapered base can be used inside the card, if desired.
