Supplies Needed:

Patterned Paper or Stamps (acrylic or rubber) to decorate the card.

Steps to make an A2 size card (4.25″ x 5.5″):

A. Cut an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock in half crosswise at 5.5 inches, which will make two pieces of 8.5″ x 5.5″ cardstock.

B. Take each of the two pieces of cardstock and fold them in half to make two cards that measure 4.25″ by 5.5″

C. The two cards can be decorated to create greeting cards. You have a choice of which orientation you prefer for the card, either portrait or landscape.

The image below demonstrates this process. The dotted lines are cut lines and the solid lines are fold lines.
