Chop It Up: Cutting Cardstock | A Guide to Cut Card Bases & Crafty Preparation to Spark Creativity! 

I think your videos are great!! I just found you yesterday and have been binge watching since.

I have been cutting cards and fronts for the last 4 hours, lol I love the idea of having card bases and fronts and trims ready to go I spend half my time getting supplies together and then cutting and cutting. This is will be so much easier, thank you for this and the other videos. I on the hunt now for the one where you did the sentiment sizes. love that idea also. This video is a little different but I love it that you explained it all so well.

TFS! I'm a newcomer to card making and the creativity is exploding inside my mind! Time to get crafty!

I have been card making for years and I still have problems with measuring and cutting cardstock. I also make cards blanks ahead of time and it saves me time. I will be watching your videos many times. TFS.

I’m also a fan of BIG cards. I much rather sit down to make an A7 (5x7) or 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 card than an A2 (5 1/2 x4 1/4) size.

i enjoyed this video. thank you. And there is no waste, as long as we use the materials we have. I know people like to get two cards from one 8x11 sheets of paper, but if you want a larger one, than that's great too. NO waste as it's being used and the scraps. every crafter has "scrap" peices after cutting bases or other templates. I do what brings me joy and what those enjoy, who i gift them too

Great video, thank you. Now I know what to do when I want to do something creative but don’t know what… I have a drawer full of envelopes, some of which don’t have card bases… cutting a bunch of card bases to fit the unusual size envelopes will make them ready to use when inspiration strikes 😊👍

Great idea to prep all different sizes.

I have done some of this. When I don't know what to do or what to make I go thru my cardstock,stamps dies to get me motivated. Which sometimes by the time I do that,I'm in the mood to make something, but I ran out of time. I have cut front panels,cards bases but I have found myself using something different..I have to have more discipline I guess.Use what I prepared..love doing spray inks on cardstock,other techniques then can't decide which one to use.. cause what I did. And what I want to make, might not be the colors I want to do then. And I like them all.. oh boy !! Anyway, I just started to complete cards and put in container so I'll have cards done ahead of time. Slow starting. But I'm attempting to do ahead of time. This is all still new to me. Thanks for Sharing this.

I've been cardmaking for years and just yesterday realised that I don't have envelopes the right size for some cards I've made. It makes so much sense to prepare. Thank you.

You could score before cutting so you only have to score once. TFS

Thank you Jenny. I really needed your video to help me with paper cutting in different sizes so I appreciate it so much. Have a great day!! 😊

Very neat way to store your cards. Can't wait to see what you create especially with the larger cards.

Thank you for sharing these tips / ideas ❤

I’m so use to make A2size cards; I wouldn’t know how to decorate those other sizes but grateful for the measurements 😉

I like to prep card bases and envelopes also; it's a great idea! Your large envelopes are elegant!

As always I enjoy your videos.

Great idea on card bases.

I love these videos 💚💚

Great video. Practical and inspiring!

Awaiting the video where you show us how you decorate these cards 💕 thanks in advance !

Great video thank you

Thank you thank you

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. I have truly made a mess of a bunch of card-stock.

I love the preparation. I will add this to my card learning. Thank you.

What a great idea you have! I often purchase card and envelope sets and I use them so quickly because they are so handy, now I can make my own sets instead!

Thanks for sharing! This is so great for people like me that are beginners. Definitely one I’ll keep for reference!!

Nice idea

thank you. I've only been card making a year or so, and just now branching out into paper gifts as well(bookmarks, recipe cards etc)

Thank you for showing us how to make cards. May I ask where and what size bag u used?

Thank you for sharing this. I, too, make card bases ahead of time. Where did you get your Inter Design basket from? I'm unable to find them. Thank you.

I always enjoy your videos will you be doing the mini slimline video as well?

I have LOTS of card bases and card fronts, haven’t felt good for a month.

🇬🇧🥰

Even scoring my cards, they don't fold straight. Do the 5x7 cards take more postage to send?

Here in the UK We don't have 8 1/2 x 11 so difficult to cut to your sizes

You must be buying pre-made envelopes that match that paper? Where?

Hi those envelope sizes can you send me the template I like the big cards as well thank you.

How do I get the information for the projects

Did you make the envelopes too Jenny? I’m a newbie to crafting and would love to see how to make the envelope too please.

Hi Jenny I know you collect Gina K and I happened to have theee mi I repeated. Would you like to exchange it for another Gina K or if you don’t any Gina K duplicate for something that you have repeated. Mine are new but I don’t care if you have something used. I a, new to this and trying to build my Stacy. I made two orders close together and got the same incentive stamps twice and ordered twice the same product without realizing. You know how that works I am sure. Let me know. Love your videos and explanations.

I love your videos but UK card size is not the same as US so can't cut to your measurements Jo xx
