Create a card with detachable bookmark.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Place the Cutz Starter Kit Cartridge into the Creatopia.
   
   Set the perforating blade at 2 1/2".
   
   Tip: Use the arrow to help position any cartridge exactly where you want it.
   

   

2. Set scoring blade at 6 3/4" and the cutting blade at 11".
   
   Add your two guide wheels in between.

   

3. Step 2

   Slide feeder tray horizontally and lock in place.
   
   Line 12" x 12" piece of cardstock up with the right edge of the tray and slide toward the blades.

   

4. Step 3

   Place stabilizer bar on top of your cardstock.
   
   Turn handle and guide paper through cutter. Go slowly and stabilize paper coming out the other side.
   
   Paper will be cut, scored, and perforated all at once.
   
   Tip: Be careful at the very end as paper might veer a little off course.

   

5. Your cardstock is now perforated at 2 1/2" and scored at 6 3/4.

   

6. Step 4

   Your paper is now 11" x 12". Turn the paper a quarter turn and cut down to 11" x 11".

   

7. Step 5

   With score and perforation lines perpendicular to the cutting blade, cut slowly at 5 1/2".
   
   This will make two cards measuring 11" x 5 1/2".
   
   Cutting and scoring information for regular paper trimmers:
   Take a 5 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock, score at 4 1/4" and perforate at 8 1/2".

   

8. Step 6

   Take one card and fold the bookmark on the perforated line.

   

9. Step 7

   Fold the left side over your bookmark and crease the score line.

   

10. Step 8

    Decorate your card front
