Q&A
Q: How do you make card bases?
A: This is a GREAT question. In the US, the typical finished size of the cards we make (called A2 cards) is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. This is super easy to accomplish by cutting a piece of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock in half either way and folding those pieces in half. One option is to cut it in half to make two 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ pieces and score and fold them at 4-1/4″. I do this the most often as your actual fold is longer (5-1/2″) and thus the card seems to be a little more sturdy – especially if you want to stand them up somewhere or know you’re mailing it to someone who likes to stand their cards up. 🙂 The other way is to cut the paper to 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scoring each piece and folding at 5-1/2″.
