This was a very helpful video for the basics. You would be surprised at how many people need help with measuring. Sometimes it is just the little things that make a big difference. All these years later, your video is still relevant. Good job!

Very helpful!! Your instructions are easy to understand. Appreciate you getting right to the point of measurements of cards. 😊

You are the only one I saw explaining the measurements so well after watching so many videos. Thank you so much for the information

Thank you for clearly explaining how to cut the different sizes needed for cards. I just bought the Fiskars Paper trimmer and have been checking out videos on how to use it. Your's has been the most beneficial. Thank you, thank you!!!!!

Aloha, I'm so glad I found this!!! Not only was it clear for someone that hates measuring but I was able to watch your video & see the measurement clearly!!! Lets be honest hearing it is one thing but I have to be able to see it as well.

U are. The only one that explains measuring so clearly..thank you💕

love how simple and clear you explain things....thank you

Thank You this really helped me since I have been having trouble in how to measure the card boarders. Great explanation

I wish I had watched this sooner! Thank you so much!! I have been just doing trial and error all this time!!

I'm a visual learner so thank you for including a video along with the measurements.

I just discovered your KZfaq channel and the link to your blog post. WOW! Thank you for all of the information that you provide on both. This is my new favorite channel :)

Thank you for sharing the breakdown on cutting paper, I use this video when I need motivation! TFS

Thankyou so much for this, it has made things so much easier for me

Very well spoken and explained. Thank you xx

THANKYOU!!! this is exactly what i needed

wow thank you for this video I'm having a hard time on sizes bur now i get it. I bought a mess of 6x6 hated the size now I can cut them down and I'm ready to go thank you

Love Love DAT' A Grade Thank You so Much for explaining how to cut your paper and boarders. Please show how you make different size boarders using Fiskars for bigger sizes. I really enjoyed your video you are DE best.

Thank you! I have been looking for a video that explained how to cut the basic card base. I feel like a dork but, no one explains what size card to use when they are making their cards.

It seems the PDF file is no longer available it says the download was removed. So I guess that link is no longer relevant.

Thank you very much! You gave a great tutorial!! Bridgette

Thank you so much. Found this video very helpful.

Thank you so much for posting this! very helpful for beginners:)

Thank you! Great video and instructions.

Thank you so much for this video. I know this sounds really stupid but I could never cut my mats correctly. I was measuring from the right. Now I understand that side should be fine if I line it up on the left

Thanks for the video. I use Microsoft publisher for making cards, and I was having issues with paper size, card size, cut size, etc.

Thank you so much, I finally understand how to do this, because you made it understandable. I suspect some of my friends like to make it confusing?

Thank you for creating something like this. It will be a big help. =)

Thanks for the PDF reference sheet!

this was excellent!! And very useful. TFS

@angieb43 I'll be blogging it later today, but I just added the link to the pdf in the description. Hope that helps!

Very helpful, thanks for sharing!

I swear I have 5 Lg Cutters and 5 small cutters and I can not get it right on any of them?? I'm ALWAYS off??? I just dont know why?? Thanks again for your video!!

Do you have a tutorial using the pre grid lines marked on your trimmer?

Click on where it says "Show more" below the video. The description is located underneath the video title and starts "For more information about this video..." Hope that helps!

Great video However I was able to get packages of neenah solar white paper one 80 lb one 110 lb . Problem being is the paper came 8 1/2"x 14" long, I need to figure out how to cut it with the least waste. Wondering if some how I could get two card bases and one layering piece out of each sheet. Any suggestions?

Thank you sooo much I was having trouble understand how to cut my card stoc

Thank you so much for this!!!

Hi thanks so much!!!! Now I hope I use this and try to make cards as I'm Very new to this....Hugs, Wendy

FANTASTIC

I just went to your blog and I can't find the link for the card size

Awesome, thanks!

thank you for the simple and easy to understand video. the pdf no longer works.

This really helped

Thank you so much!

Which trimmer do you use?

This will only allow me to print though my face-book account, which I will not do. Do you have this in a PDF without joining anything? I could really use this. Thank you

The Pdf of card measurements will not let me print it off. I have joined 3 different times and it still won't let me.

OMG I'm going have to get a calculator LOL!! This was very helpful, thanks!

i like that you wrote down your measurements but I am not able to use them, not able to print it out

New subbie and new to card making and ur video was very helpful. THANKS FOR SHARING 💋

wow. been making cards for a while and my mind makes this process so hard so this helps.. wow. that's bad huh? lol

Thank you ..

Thank you

Does it works for self-adhesive sheets? Thank you for your video!

is the normal sized card-stock A4 size?

I cannot fine this....Where is the description at??? As you can tell I'm new at this...lol Yes I need help for the measurements of making cards....Thanks, Wendy

Liked this video thanks. For the measurements too. I paused the video and copied the measurements.

Is there a way to cut inside corners with this machine? See: www.flickr.com/photos/lindielee/15228083216/

also that Fiskars blade needs replaced

One fourth? One quarter.

Too bad it was not done using metric measurements and A4 paper, so much easier to work with.

Thanks for the PDF reference sheet!
