Questions regarding using Framelits

Hello Readers,

Heidi Baks recently asked a couple of questions about the card shown here. I thought I'd answer in a post in case anyone else was wondering.

Heidi wanted to know (A) the final dimensions of the card and (B) if it was difficult to cut through two layers with the Framelit (to create the card base).

(A)
To create the card base,  I used the 3rd largest of the Framelit dies. This size cuts to approximately 3-3/8" x 4". To cut it, start with a card base of 4- 1/4" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4".  I folded the card at the score, then aligned the Framelit so that the score line was exposed; this way, when I cut my card much of the score line was exposed. You can see this flat/folded edge along the top of the card.

Note: For a slightly larger card, use the 2nd largest frame and you will end up with a card approximately 4" x 4-5/8". 

(B)
No, it was not difficult to cut through both layers. The Framelits cut through both layers cleanly and easily.

If you have any questions regarding other projects you have seen here, please contact me. As you see, I am happy to answer! :)
