Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Step 1: Cut twenty-six 1-3/4” X 3” pieces of white cardstock.
   
   Stamp a number on each piece as follows:
   0: 4 pieces
   1: 4 pieces
   2: 3 pieces
   3: 3 pieces
   4: 2 pieces
   5: 2 pieces
   6: 2 pieces
   7: 2 pieces
   8: 2 pieces
   9: 2 pieces
   

   

2. Step 2

   Decorate or add additional stamping to the pieces as desired.

   

3. Step 3

   Using a 1/8” circle punch, punch each piece near the top.

   

4. Step 4

   Score an 8 1/2” X 11” piece of colored cardstock at 3 1/2”and 7” on the long side.

   

5. Step 5

   Fold on the 3 1/2” score line. Draw a light pencil line 3/8” from the folded edge.

   

6. Step 6

   Make small marks on the pencil line at 1 1/8”, 3 1/8”, 5 3/8” and 7 3/8”. Punch a hole with the 1/8” circle punch where the lines intersect.

   

7. Step 7

   Fold on the remaining score line to form an easel. Decorate as desired. Add a raised element to the base to hold the easel in place.

   

8. Step 8

   Sort the stamped numbered pieces into four stacks. Starting from the left:
   Stack 1: 0 - 1
   Stack 2: 0 - 9
   Stack 3: 0 - 3
   Stack 4: 0 - 9
