You threw me off by coming live on Sunday night! Thank you for the suggestions.

I’ve been stamping for over 12 years and never thought of making the different sizes of card stock for a reference. I’m headed to my craft room right now to do that!! So simple, but so useful. Thanks for the tip!

Great tips, Karen..I think my biggest issue when I first started card making was I invariably cut the pattern paper the wrong direction

[gilashroot]

I am so happy someone decided to make this series. It is very basic, which helps so much. Size of cards is the 1 thing that I struggle with most. Your "sample" system is such an obvious solution, but I never thought of it, which makes it genius ☺️. Thank you for this resource. I actually learned more than I thought I would.

I love you for helping me get back to cardmaking. Time has always be tuff to edge out. Prepared I can do more

[susieramick]

Thank you so much. Making these guides pronto! Your so right the guides will give me freedom and also security in cutting the right size the first time. Maybe my scrap pile won't grow so fast..Lol.
Love the series!

I have the sizes in quarter inches posted above the place where I cut my paper. It really helps!

Great cut review tips Karen… Happy New Yew to you, Tim, and your SU team!! 🎆✨💫🤘🏾☮️

This was great. I have an index card with sizes hanging over my cutting area. I have a special wooden box for pre cut card bases, a shoe box with second and third sheets and two plastic folders with the inside cuts. Being prepared like this always helps the creative go so much smoother. Loved this. So many good tips! 🎉🙏💌
