This is not working...I'm doing something wrong...which way are you holding the paper? I thought I had it, but the papers don't fold in on each other properly.

Here....maybe this will help....choose which pice you want to be A and which you want to be B and then look at the bolded words below....this is where you will cut your cardstocka. Cut in half at 4 � inches a. Cut in half at 5 � inches

and remember....the card may not lay completely flat. there is no way to get the score marks EXACTLY in the right place, so you may have to re-fold just slightly on each piece, but it shouldn't be that much

I'm so dumb! Cutting this piece for the 3rd time now I've figured - cut it in half. I hardly ever cut paper that way!

I'm having a bit of trouble with the measurements. If I score at 8 1/4 that leaves hardly any of a flap. I am surely doing something quite wrong.

try scoring the other piece of paper that way.
one of your pieces of paper will be long and one will be short. the long pice is the one you score at 8 1/4

OK - three tries - I finally figured out how to cut it. I was trying to cut both along the 8 1/2 side, but you only do that with the first one. Tricky, tricky, tricky... can I start my 45 min's now?????

Well....I think beginning now sounds good to me, although I think I'm almost done...I think it was magic or something
