Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Place your 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock in the top right corner. Place your scoring tool on the 2 1/8" marking and add a score there.
   
   Hint:
   You can see two little dots on the top ruler of your Scor-Pal™. These are special markings for gatefold card scores.

   

2. Step 2

   Don't move your paper! Just move your Scor-Tool down to the 6 3/8" mark and add another score there.
   

   

3. Your cardstock will look like this.

Variations

Try different sizes
To figure out where your scores should be, divide your card width in 4 (eg. 6" x 4= 1 1/2") and score at 1/4 of your width (1 1/2") and 3/4 (4 1/2").
