Card base instructions: After scoring the 2 card bases, on the 5 1/2 x 12 fold the 4" section in a valley fold then fold the rest going back and forth between valley and mountain. On the 5 1/2 x 11 fold the 3" end in a mountain fold then fold the rest going back and forth between mountain and valley. Make sure to burnish the edges so that it will fold easily. Adhere these 2 pieces together by applying tear and tape to the 1" fold section then laying the 3" end from the 5 1/2 x 11 piece onto the 1" folded section. This picture if from the back of the card.
