Cutting Cardstock 101

A couple of my customers were needing the measurements for cutting a standard medium (5 1/2 x 4 1/4) greeting card so I thought this would be a perfect time for me to try me tutorial skills on this blog.

First, you align your 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of cardstock (new Baja Breeze shown here) horizontally at the 5 1/2 mark on your cutter. Cut.



This is the result of that first cut.



Next, take one of those 5 1/2 X 11 pieces of cardstock and align it horizontally at the 4 1/4 mark. Score.



Once folded on the score line, this is the result. You can build your card like this...or...



like this!



Hope this helps! Check back later for a different cutting tutorial!
