Video & Free PDF: How to cut & score A4 cardstock to make cards

Published by under cards | May 03 2020

One thing new cardmakers always ask about it, is how to make base cards from an A4 sheet of cardstock.

It’s one thing to know that you can make 2 cards from one A4 sheet – but it’s a whole other issue trying to work out where to cut!

I’ve made a video to answer all your questions.

Although it is designed for beginning cardmakers who are using A4 sized cardstock (metric measurements), it is also great for those wanting to cut their cardstock more economically.  No waste! 

Learn how and where to cut, the benefits of scoring a crease before folding cardstock, and an alternative method that – seriously – could transform your cardmaking for the better. It did for me! 

And as a bonus for my blog readers, here is a handy downloadable one-page summary (in A4 size of course).

I hope it comes in handy for you.

Happy stamping,

    Thank you, really enjoyed your clear instructions, am about to print out for the future!
    Great tip with the second cut – easier to cut the second piece.
    Thank you.

    Thank you Dorothy, so pleased it helped! That way to cut is so quick and easy because it means you only have to make 1 score and 2 cuts and you have two card bases ready to go!
