Yield Using this issue you can create twelve (12) card fronts using the layout shown on the cover. The finished size of the card fronts is 4” x 5.25” 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 24 card fronts by doubling the amount of CS3 to 4 sheets of 12” x 12” and F1 to 4 yds. There will be enough of PP1, PP2, PP3, CS1 & CS2 to cut the extra 12 pieces from the 8.5” x 11” sheets.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN Some ideas to personalize / change-up your cards... • • • • •
Make “paper ribbon” out of some of your leftover CS or PP by cutting strips that are 5.25” x .25” and adhere to front in place of fiber. Use up some of that extra PP or CS by doing all five of the “pile” pieces in either CS or PP Ink edges or use a corner rounder on the pieces. Put the “pile” pieces on at different angles, not straight up and down. If you have extra ribbon, use a small piece to tie a knot on the strip of ribbon.
