Using Card Maps Series I

Using Card Maps are easier than you think.  I found this one online:

I have a envelope filled with blank cardstock in an array of sizes.  I used inexpensive cardstock and each piece of paper has the measurement written on them. 

I begin with a blank canvas - THE CARD BASE.  I pull out different sizes to see which fits best for the design.

The one I choose happened to be a proportional size, in other words the margins are 3/8" on all sides.

 

 

This is how I ended up with the finished card.

It took me FOREVER (hours and hours) to create a template for the sections.  I finally threw out my tutorial on cutting each individual section and created a template that can be used over and over.  The easiest way to create section templates is to follow the tutorial link below.  Cut your template out of heavy cardstock or window sheet.  

The FREE tutorial can be found HERE.
