If you are using the Standard Metric card bases you might be facing a problem. Today for Wednesday’s WOW! #54 I want to solve that problem for you. I have to say this is not my original idea. I think I saw it on a Facebook group I am on but not sure where or who by now. Perhaps you haven’t seen it though so I thought I would share it with you.
The metric size card bases are just slightly different to the US size so the largest Rectangle Stitched Framelits doesn’t sit quite right for some people. It’s not evenly spaced around each side when you cut the card mat. To some that doesn’t matter but you might like the even space. Here is a solution for you.
EXTENDING THE RECTANGLE STITCHED FRAMELITS
Cut your card with the Largest Rectangle Stitched Framelit. On your card piece, cut off a section at the bottom. This could be any amount you like to work with your card design. I cut this one at about 3 1/2 cm.
Once you have stamped your piece of card how you like, adhere that to the card base. Add a strip of card (or even wide ribbon) across the join of the card. The card strip could be where you stamp your sentiment. Nobody would even know there is a gap there. 🙂
Here is a Pinterest graphic that you can PIN for your later use.
Thanks for stopping today.
