I love the layered look on cards, but I am often intimidated by it. I am really, really mathematically challenged and only recently have I gotten the hang of cutting the standard size card! Ha! So, I thought it would be helpful to create a printable that I could frame near my work area listing the standard card sizes, as well as different mat sizes. You may have seen this in my craft studio tour. I love it and look at it pretty much every time I make a card.
I know it is not the most clear paper that I could have printed it on, but that feather paper is currently the love of my life and for now, anything I print basically has to be printed on that paper. It's a problem. :-)
I wanted to share this handy printable with all of you, just in case you have measuring challenges as well! It fits perfectly in a standard 5''x7'' frame.
Thanks to the handy printable, I was able to whip up this layered card in no time.
All of these stamps are from the free PTI set that you received if you ordered over $100 back in June. Of course, that is not that tricky to do when you would take one of everything over there!
I used the measurements for the 1/8'' mat, as well as the 1/4'' mat. Easy peasy.
I will be back tomorrow with another printable and my Market Street Stamps Word on the Street #3!
Thanks so much, that's really useful.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you from a fellow (lazy AND) mathematically challenged friend!
ReplyDeletewow your card is so beautiful...Love that bird stamp...

Lovely card Jess. I really like the soft colors and the stamp. Thanks for leaving your comments at my blog...esp the one layer card. I love it too:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess, this will become a staple chart for me! I've always had to think too hard for the matte's to come out how I want!
