Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Take a piece of your 12" x 12" cardstock and score it at 4 1/4". Repeat with all of the 12" x 12" cardstock pieces.
   

   

2. Step 2

   Turn your cardstock piece one quarter and score at 6". If you are using Stampin' Up! cardstock score at 5 15/16", because it's not quite a 12" square.
   

   

3. Step 3

   Stamp the upper 4" of your cardstock.

   

4. Step 4

   Turn the cardstock over and stamp the lower 4" all the way up to the score line.
   

   

5. Step 5

   Turn cardstock back over so you will see the upper part stamped. Now fold the lower part up.

   

6. Step 6

   Now fold the cardstock in half. This will create two pages with pockets.
   

   

7. Step 7

   Push your folded cardstock with the open ends all the way into your binding machine and punch holes. Make sure your cardstock is all the way in before punching. Repeat with all pieces of cardstock including your covers.

    Lay card organizer onto the Rubicoil so the coil is in the indentation.

    Cut extra coil off.
