"What i wonder sometimes is if it would be easier to sand one edge of the  
board to a centered sharp edge and simply fold the paper over.."

BINGO!  :)  Kind of, it gets the creative juices flowing.

No need to work alignment on the board, too complicated, work the alignment
while folding the  paper and slip in the board like you 1st suggested.

Or print the 2 patterns individually, align them up to light like you
mentionned, staple  around sides and trailing edge, squish the staples
making sure the paper remains aligned and then pass it through the
laminator?  You can always cut off the staples before a 2nd pass.

Or what about those tooth-wheels I've seen in sewing (don't ask either ok)?
I don't have one handy, but would they make semi-perforations that would
maintain alignment?  No metal object, simple and cheap application?  You
don't need a lot of strength, just enough to prevent lateral movement.  If
those are not quite right, I have a wheel-applicator to install screening on
my windows, maybe filing teeth into that would be better?

Another idea, align 2 pieces of paper, fold leading edge more than once to
hold alignment, feed that in like your idea of the cardboard leader.
