Turn the cardstock to look like a diamond with one of the pointed edges towards you.
Connect the two dots that are furthest in, give it a score.
You will be able to see the four small triangles that have been made on the card stock.
Trim those areas off.

<<<------- You will end up with something like this. Turn the cardstock sideways, so that one of the straight sides of the cardstock is towards you (not the pointy edge).

Mark the bottom of the cardstock from the outside at 3/4" using your ruler. Repeat for all four corners.
Repeat the above for all four sides.
Now flip the card and close it.
Close each flap one by one, covering the corner edges with the next flap.

When you have closed three flaps and you reach the fourth one, just tuck that corner edge into the flaps closed to secure it and make sure it doesn't open.
This is what you get once you have followed all the above instructions carefully. This pinwheel card looks even better when you use double sided pattern paper to make it.
