Tip: If I am not making more than one card and using the fabulous Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers 12" x 12", I cut the widths at 3" or 4". This card had a width of 3 7/8". My next card may take a width of 4" - rather than having the DSP cut specifically for one card, I plan ahead by cutting in 4". I then cut a piece 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". This also allows me to use a 4" width of DSP on the inside of the card.
