Guide to Cutting Cardstock

When I first started on my card making journey I didn't know the first thing about cutting cardstock for card bases or how to cut cardstock for layering. So one of the first things I wanted to help others with was this basic and important part of card making. Our A4 cardstock comes in a variety of colours, Whisper White and Very Vanilla. To get the most out of your cardstock follow these two examples and then create some beautiful handmade cards today.

I am more than happy to do a one on one workshop with you to help you enjoy this part of the card making process. From here you can accomplish any card technique you put your mind to.
Book a workshop with me before the 31st August and go into a draw to win a Take Your Pick Tool (this tool is ideal for picking up embellishments) and Noble Peacock Rhinestones.
