Confessions of a Grandma

Last week I learned a new card making trick, a fancy kind of pop-out card in a box. Paper cutter, scoring board, scissors, super sticky  tape. My directions called for a piece of card stock, 9" by 5".  Maybe I am just not big on following directions, but that seemed a.) wasteful of paper and b.)involving too much math and measurements using fractions. I used a piece of card stock that was 8.5 inches by 5 inches. I scored at 2", 4", 6" and 8"--much less margin for error.  Then score a lengthwise perpendicular line at 2.5".  I did not score through the last line but it does not matter if you do. Cut off half of the 1/2" section, then cut on just the top halves of the vertical lines.  Fold and crease the in tact scores.   Attach the 1/2" tab to the inside of the right hand section with double sided sticky tape.  You end up with an open box: Cut a 2.5" square of card stock.  Score a .25" line on either...
