Ok - so this must win the dumb question of the month award. 
But - I know I am doing something wrong here, so all of you experienced cardmakers pleases help me out.
I have been happily experimenting doing card "panels" for the outside of layered cards using the MISTI stamping tool. Lots of fun and lots of successes (along with some user made errors. ha)
But - I can not master making the inside of cards using the Misti. When I open the card to stamp directly on the card, of course the card when open is too large. But if I fold the card front back - to make it small enough to fit the Misti opening - (made with card-base weight card stock) it doesn't lay nice and flat like a single layer. The folded-back card doesn't want to stay flat even with magnets.
Sigh - Am I making any sense? In a nutshell: I'd like the card to lay flat and snug against the bottom of the Misti, but the card is too long when open or too bulky if folded back.
How do *you* position a card to do the inside of a card or do you just 'free-hand' stamp the inside? Or are you all making layers for inside of the card?
Any help will be so appreciated for the card making dummy. LOL
