Yield Using this issue you can create six (6) card fronts using the layout shown on the cover. The finished size of the card fronts is 5.25” x 4” and will fit nicely on the front of an A4 (4.25” x 5.5”) card, leaving a small border on all edges.

Double-Up Need a lot of extra cards?! You can turn this into 12 card fronts by doubling the amount of PP1 and E1.

For PP2, CS1, CS2 and CS3 increase the page size to one (1) 12” x 12” of each style.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN Some ideas to personalize / change-up your cards...

Ink edges of each piece.

Instead of tearing as indicated, use decorative scissors.

Use a patterned paper for CS3 and stamp a sentiment on the bottom portion of CS2.

Turn the layout 90 degrees for a portrait card.
