Step-by-Step

Step 1
Using the ruler and pen or pencil, make a mark in the middle of one 10" edge of paper (5" from each edge).
-
Step 2
Draw lines from the center mark down to each bottom corner.

Step 3
Align drawn line with groove of paper cutter and trim off excess. Repeat for other side.

Step 4
Align one straight edge of paper with left side of scoring tool. Score at 4 3/8" and 5 7/8".

Note:
For sharp points on the star, move paper a scant 1/16th inch away from left side of scoring tool, as shown.
Score the other two sides as you did for the first. -
Step 5
Use bone folder to crease score lines – valley fold for the center score lines, and mountain fold for the points of the star.

Step 6
Fold in one side, then the next side, and tuck the last side under the first to close. Decorate as desired.

Variations
Here are easy dimensions for using 8 1/2" x 11" or even 8" x 8" paper. Cut paper to 8" wide x 7" high. Mark the center point at 4" and cut the triangle. In step 4, score at 3 1/2" and 4 5/8" from each side. Other instructions are the same. Bonus: the card will fit in an A2 envelope!
