Card Question

Post by TigerMisty »

I have a simple basic newbie question..... what size do you make your everyday cards?

I usually make mine 8"x6" so they will fit in a standard 4x6 envelope when folded...

Sure! Pattern links on my blog (though I've learned Firefox browsers don't see my page correctly :cry: )
I've tried to offer some ideas and instructions there...they can be a little involved but I'm having fun with it!

Yes, I've inquired at blogspot forum about it and sent it to Firefox today since they have a 'Report Broken Web Site' in their help section...the page shows fine in Internet Explorer and Safari...so I don't know why Firefox is a problem...

The standard card size is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". A regular sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" cardstock, cut in half will yield two cards!

Of course, you can make a card any shape and size you like! There really are no rules to card making! (Just make sure you have an envie in the size you need otherwise you could be making that too LOL!!)

We switched to Google Chrome for a browser about 2 months ago and we really like it. MUCH faster than IE.

Most of my cards are 8 1/2x11 card stock folded in half. You are supposed to pay extra postage for that size but I've never had one returned and the party on the other end has never had to pay extra postage.....yet.
