I cut my pattern paper at 4" to get more cuts out of a sheet; whether it is 6" x 6" or 12" x 12"
Getting The Most of Your Treasured Designer Series Paper
This is from a previous post
I hate when my 6" x 6" paper only nets one card layer, don't you? I found this layout that I wanted to try. Instead of destroying my paper and only getting one card I decided to use a scrap piece of paper and making a template.
My template was the same size of the card (4" x 5 1/2"). I laid the paper down at the angle I wanted and traced the outline.
I can't cut a straight line, so I cut the template this way for a more accuracy. Using the template I created another one. You may have to play with the position of the template on your card base. The second time I created a template, I was able to get two pieces out of my 6" x 6" paper. Happy Dance!
I can't cut a straight line straight, I placed my template into my trimmer to get a more accurate cut.
Line up the two templates on your paper and trace.
Attach to your cardstock and using your trimmer create a 1/8" mat. The top and sides are not trimmed to expose the cardstock.
