Now for the tutorial!
Please note ... as I work in metric measurements I will include an approx conversions in brackets ... they are not exact conversions as it isn't essential for this card ... as long as the small measurement is half the size of the other measurement it will work ... eg ... 6 x 12; 5 x 10; 10 x 20 etc.
You need two pieces of card the same size ..... for the Indian card above my card was 13cm (5inches) x 26cm (10inches). You card can be the same color as per the sample above or you can use two different colors as per my Easter card in previous post.



Decorate your checkerbox card as desired.
Alternative Method:

another way to make the same card ... is to take one piece of card .... in this case 26cm square (10inches) and score & fold as before at 6.5cm (2.5inches) .... use a craft knife or scissors to remove the 4 corner pieces (the pink areas in this diagram above). Weave the flaps closed as previously instructed. This works well when using one color card.
Recipe:
Stamps: The Cat's Pajamas
Paper: White; Really Rust, Cranberry Crisp & Not Quite Navy - SU
Other: Black Ink; Soft Sky SU Ink; Brown & Rust Grosgrain Ribbon
