Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Score the neutral cardstock (5" x 8") in half at 4" and fold on the score line.

   With the fold at the top of the paper trimmer, cut the card as follows:
   
   At 1", cut down 1 1/2" from the fold.
   At 2", cut down 1 1/2" from the fold.
   At 3", cut down 1 1/4" from the fold.
   At 4", cut down 1" from the fold.
   

   

3. After cutting, the card should look like this.

   

4. Step 3

   Turn the cardstock and line the fold on the left side of the paper trimmer.

   

5. At 1", score between 1" to 2".
   At 1 1/4", score between 2" and 3".
   At 1 1/2", score between 3" and 4".
   

   

6. Step 4

   Fold on the score lines, and push the flaps out the opposite direction from the card fold.
