A-2 Cards are made from a half sheet of
8-1/2” x 11” cardstock cut and scored at either:
- Portrait 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”
- Landscape 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2”
Cardstock Layering
The
table below is a handy reference for creating layers on your cards.
- Use the first column of measurements (in inches) and the result will be a 1/8 inch border on all sides of the card as each mat/layer is reduced by 1/4 inch (1/8” on each side).
- Use the first and second column of measurements and the result will be 1/16 inch border on all sides as each layer is reduced by 1/8 inch (1/16” on each side).
