   3/4” x 2 3/4” board pattern paper (or as needed for sentiment)
   1” x 3” gray cardstock (or as needed for layering sentiment

   

2. Step 2

   Remove the top half of the card front by cutting down 2 1/8” along the score line. Line up the front outside top corner at the 2 1/8” mark on the trimmer and cut down to the score line, meeting the first cut.

   Adhere the patterned papers, the larger board pattern piece on the inside of the card, and the 2" strip on the front.
