Cut the file. With the right side of the card facing you, crease the score lines.
The top horizontal line is a valley fold. The next score line down is a mountain fold. The two small creases forming the center fold line of the card are valley folds. The bottom horizontal line is a valley fold.
Back the window with contrasting paper if you wish.
Remember to fold the backing paper into an L shape to cover the opening on the bottom of the card as well as the opening on the upright portion of the card!
Glue the window pop up into a base card of coordinating or contrasting color. See an example here.
