The Template

I highly recommend that you first make a template. This will make creating your micro traveler’s notebook a breeze.

Trim a piece of card stock to 7 3/4 by 4 1/2
Place your card stock horizontally on your scoring board and score at 3 1/2, 3 7/8, 4 1/4
With the bone folder that is provided with your scoring board, fold at the scored lines
Place your card stock flat on your desk in a (horizontal position), and place your ruler a quarter of an inch from the top and draw a line across your scored line. Then turn your card stock upside down and do the same for the bottom
Where the straight line meets the scored marks, you’ll use your crop-a-dile to punch holes on top and bottom of your template. I use the 3/16 measurement.
