Line up the lower right hand corner and the upper left hand corner of the card front on the cutting track of the Stampin' Trimmer.  Place the blade on the pencil mark you made and make a cut from the center of the card to the lower right hand corner of the card front.

Mark the center of the inside of the card with a pencil.  Line up the upper right hand corner and the lower left hand of the inside of the card on the cuttring track.  Place the blade on the pencil mark and cut from the center up to the upper right hand corner of the inside of the card.
