I do like that scoring platform. Very nice!

[@AlysonGold]

Thank you for this! I know it may seem basic to some, but it's great information to have for those just beginning! I didn't know the measurements for the slimline, so I appreciate you including it. :)

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

You're welcome! I didnt know the dimensions of the slimline either when I first started out. Seemed like a secret everyone else was in on except me! Lol!

[@wingitwithroz]

Very informative video. I fold my own card bases too. And I've just recently started making my own envelopes for odd sized cards I make.

[@lornajohannes8273]

How would you make an envelope for the 6" card?

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

That's a great idea!

[@florencesmith4142]

Thanks for the information, I have made a A10 before but did not know the real size so I used the envelope to get the size. And thanks for saying where we can fin the dies for this size. Came out ok not really sure why I never made another one. Have a great week

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

You're welcome! My slimline dimensions arent exact to a true A10, either, but I like leaving some room in the envelope so I can embellish a bit more

[@stampinmoe]

Square cards: not only do you need bigger envelopes but In the US the square cards require extra postage

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

Yes, good point! I prefer the sizes that can be sent with just a stamp :)

[@phoeberuff475]

Thank you for this quick and easy tutorial!

[@hayleydoherty9557]

Great thanks x

[@meggoodare1259]

Brilliant video. Thank you.
I apologise if I missed it but what is the best card weight for card bases

[@sworley1956]

On that 6x6 card, where did you get that beautiful die?
