2, 4, 6, 8 who do we appreciate? Me...


...hopefully! I thought this was a perfect name for this card since it's scored at...you guessed it...2, 4, 6, and 8!

Begin with a piece of card stock cut at 12 x 5.5

Line your cardstock in your cutter at the 1.5 inch mark. Place your cutting blade at the 8 inch mark on the verticle ruler and cut down to the 2 inch mark. Flip your cardstock over and do the same on the other side so that the slits line up.

Flip your cardstock lengthwise and score at 2, 4, 6, and 8 making sure that your 2" score lines up with the end of the slits you have just made.

Add your paper.
You will need:
6 pieces of patterned paper 1 3/4 x 1 1/4
3 pieces solid card stock cut 1 3/4 x 2 1/4
1 piece solid card stock 3 3/4 x 5 1/4
1 piece card stock 1 3/4 x 5 1/4

Decorate as desired. Fold the card along the score lines. To create the "pop out" effect, fold the center piece opposite to the top and bottom.
