I shared this shadow box card with you almost a month ago, when I did my Stamp Retreat. I promised you a video, and I am finally doing that today. Sorry it took so long, but time marches by pretty first.
You will start with a piece of card stock that measures 7" x 10 1/4". You will score along the 10 1/4" side at the 5" and the 5 1/4". We will be working from the 5" score line, so I recommend not scoring over at the 5 1/4".
Along the 7" sides you will move the card stock in to the 1/2" mark, You will start scoring at the 1/2" mark to the 6 1/2" mark. Move the card stock now in to the 3/4" mark and Score again starting at the 1/2" mark to the 6 1/2" mark. You will do the same thing on the opposite side.
On both of the 5" sides you will move the card stock to the 1/2" mark and score from the 1/2" to 4 1/2". Move in to the 3/4" mark and do the same start scoring at the 1/2" mark and cut to the 4 1/2" mark. Watch the video on how to measure on the score line.
You will cut an "X" out of the center but not all the way to the points you will finish cutting with scissors, as they keep you from cutting to far.
You will place a piece of black card stock on the back to cover the "X", this pieces measures 3 3/4" x 6". You will also have a Very Vanilla piece of card stock the same size for the inside of the shadow box.
Watch the video and I think you will find this card is way easier to make then it looks.

In the written instructions, you have the word cut when I think you mean score. Also, there was mention of the 7 inch but scoring to 61/2. Should this have said the 10 1/4 side? I am anxious to try this creative fold. Thanks for sharing
You are correct you will score along these marks like in the video. The card is 7" wide and that is where you score to the 6 1/2"
