Take the 8.5″ x 5.5″ piece and measure in on the long side at 0.75″ from the top and both sides. Draw a line from 0.75″ to 5″ top and bottom as shown.
Using a craft knife, cut along the lines from the 0.75″ mark to the 5″ mark.
Score on the long side in between the cut lines, at the 0.75″ mark, 1.5″ and 5″
Score either side of the cut lines at 4.25″
