With the cardboard arrangement, you move each "warp" thread to the next hole right after it has been woven. The shifting of threads is continuous and happens naturally anyway as you weave, even without the cardboard. Then, after a row is completed, the right-most (if you are right handed) thread becomes the next weft thread. The cardboard spacer simply keeps the threads separated and untangled. I don't use it for earrings but it does come in handy for larger projects with longer threads. I can try to post a photo of what I am so poorly trying to describe....
