YES, the card video I've been waiting for forever! I'm not an A2 girl, give me a REAL sized card!

@SuzieDube Жыл бұрын

When I first started making cards, I followed other card makers and made A2 sized. My family, however, thought they were too small, so I started making larger sizes. I now ONLY make 4x6, 5x7, and slimline. There are so many beautiful products (coverplates, dies, and embossing folders) that I have to pass on because they don't fit my cards properly. I was over the moon when I saw Honey Bee Stamps came out with 5x7 nesting scalloped frames! Finally, I had something pretty I could use. I also didn't feel left out of the trends anymore. Thank you, Jennifer, for making this video. I never thought of changing the 'size' of my dies. I will now be able to buy beautiful products that I couldn't buy before. I apologize if I sound redundant... but thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙏🩷

Thank you so much for acknowledging this card size (5x6.5 also) I work primarily in this size. It gives me so much for space for creativity. Also lets be real; THIS is a greeting card. Check the stores. The A-2 is just a note card. It always gets on my nerves that the industry refers to them as "standard size" I do find ways to use the little dies on my full size greeting cards, but it is frustrating that SO many things are really too small for what I do. As such an influential papercrafting leader, I hope you will let the manufacturers know how much we would like dies etc. to be sized up for the actual "standard" greeting card. A shout out to Spellbinders for making embossing folders larger!!! More please!!!

Thank you for this video. It is great to see how to make a A7 card using products meant for other sizes. I have seen that waffle flower has a layering A6 die and i was wondering if you did cards in this size? I am a curious to try it as it is a bit bigger than an A2 but not so big as an A7 which i find is harder to get nice envelopes for. I tend to make my own but then only for special occasions. I love your teaching style and that you help me with ideas to stretch my increasing stash!!

Hello 👋 when I make my 5x7 cards, I keep the scrap pieces from that one 8.5x11 sheet. I use the scraps for layering die cuts, which come in handy when I'm out of double-sided foam tape. I'll even use the scrap pieces for swatches. 😊

@slightlycurved Жыл бұрын

We spend so much on supplies, why skimp on the card size. I have lots of colored paper, that it is not a waste to me. How many cards do you do a year? Them A2 can be justified. How much money in ink, stamps, dies, or even supplies for electronic die cutting machines do we spend? I only have dies, so the money I save on the rest means I can make a bigger card. A2 is just too small for me. I've been making 5x7 cards exclusively since 2010. Thanks for thinking of the 5x7 card community ❤
