I use a 4" wide card base because I always cut my DSP at 4" widths.  You get more bang for your buck using this width.  In a 12" x 12" piece of DSP you can get 6 pieces to use on cards, each measuring 4" x 5 1/2".  If you cut your DSP at 4 1/4" widths, you will only get 4 pieces, each measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Best Dad Ever - Joy Fold Card

Sometimes it takes me awhile to come up with a card.  Most times, I do end up wasting paper.  Even though this is frustrating, I find that the end result is worth the few pennies of cardstock.  This masculine card is a Joy Fold Card.  If you look at the picture you will see that there is a smaller card centered in the middle of the main card base.  I used a Hodgepodge Hardware to hold the smaller card closed.  The picture on the bottom shows the smaller card opened.
