Important scoring information

In order for the finished card to fold with these score lines, you need to have the inside pattern of the DSP facing up and the dominant outside pattern be facing down (unseen) as you score.
OR
If your DSP design has an orientation, have the outside pattern facing up but you must turn your DSP around so the bottom of your paper touches the TOP of the trimmer/scorer
