Step 2
Turn the cardstock so that the 9 1/2 length is
at the top of the Scor-Pal.
Score at 1, 3, 4 and 6.
Step 3
Keeping the 9 1/2 length along the top of the
Scor-Pal, shift the cardstock to the 15/16
mark (between the 7/8 and 1 mark) and
score at 8 and 10.

If you are not using a Scor-Pal, score
cardstock at 7 1/16 and 9 1/16.

Step 4
Keeping your cardstock oriented as it was in
step three, cut away the pieces along the
score lines as shown.
Scored lines were traced with a black marker
for this tutorial. The solid lines indicate
additional places to cut. The tab on the far right
side is long.
Note:
Use a ruler and measure, then draw the tab
with a pencil to make sure it is centered.
Step 5
Angle cut each of the four tabs. The blue arrow
is pointing to one of the four tabs.
Step 6
Cut a centered, 1 slot with a hobby blade on
the second score line from the left.

Note:
The black line indicates where the slot should
be cut. Use only one stroke of the hobby
blade; the slot needs to be narrow.
Step 7
Punch a 1 3/8 centered circle in the second
segment from the left.
Hint:
Draw an `X from corner to corner with a pencil
to help get the circle centered (the blue dotted
lines represents the pencil marks).
Step 8
Flip the cardstock over to the back side. Apply
adhesive around the circular hole as shown.
Remove the adhesive liner and place a piece of
window sheet (slightly smaller than 2 x 2)
over the circular hole.
