Embellishments 18 brads, eyelets, or other small embellishments (E1)

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_A to 2 sheets of 12” x 12” and E1 to 36 pcs. For CS3_D you will need to increase it to a 12” x 12” sheet. There will be enough of PP2_B & CS1_C to cut the extra 6 pieces from the 8.5” x 11” sheets.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN Some ideas to personalize / change-up your cards... • • • •
Ink or tear edges of each piece. Use a corner rounder or ticket corner punch on the pieces. Turn it 90 degrees for a portrait card. If you have extra ribbon, use a small piece to tie a knot on the strip of ribbon.
