Wild Card Installment #2

I love weekends, I'm able to get so much crafting done. Here is another card I made today using only the Wild Card cart this time. I made two, one in orange and one in green. I cut the envelope first using the fit to page feature and it cut at 4 1/4. I cut all the rest of things for the envelope and card at the same size. When everyone this put together though the card just barely fits in the envelope. It's REALLY tight. If you have this cart and try this card I suggest cutting your card 1/4 smaller than your envelope that way you don't have to squeeze the card in. Here are the photos.


Here's everything all cut out. I saved the negative squares when I cut the card and card liner and used them to decorate the envelope.


Here is the finished product. I didn't realize I hadn't taken pictures of the same colored card. Oh well, now you can see both colors. I prefer the green.

Enjoy!

  1. Loved the colors! Love the card! I've been so nervous about cutting any of the cards, I haven't gotten the dimensions right yet! Any suggestions?

  2. Thanks for the comment. I've posted a blog about cutting cards and envelopes. The best way to do it though is to start with the envelope on and cut it using the fit to page feature. Take note of the size it cuts at and then set your dial and make the rest of your cuts at the size. Hopefully this will help, chec out the blog post for more details and let me know if you have more questions.
