Step 1:   
Trim your white 12x12 cardstock to measure 5 7/8 x 10 ½”. Place the long side at the top of your scoreboard & score at 3 ½ & 7”

Turn so the short side is at the top of your trimmer.  Place the left side of the cardstock at 3”, cut DOWN until you get to the first scoreline.  Place the card at the 4” mark & cut UP to the second scoreline.

Step 2:   
Cut down from the top of the card to the cut lines.

Step 3:
Fold the left side in first then the right side.  If you can’t close it so it is flat then trim a tiny piece off the left side. Find the WILD SAGE UCP3056 paper (plain green side showing) & trim a piece to measure 3 ¼ x 5 5/8”. Adhere to the inside middle panel

Trim two pieces of the left over UCP3056 to measure 3 ¼ x 2 ¾”.

Step 5:
Trim the SOFTLY SPOKEN UCP3052 paper to measure 3 ¼” x 5”, place the long side at the top of your scoreboard & score at ¼”.  Turn so the short side is at the top of the scoreboard & score at ¼” & 3”. Fold on the scorelines.  This is your pocket. Cut notches in where the scorelines cross over. Punch a half circle out of the top of your pocket then adhere to the inside largest panel.
