OH, that's why.....

…. now I understand!

Ready for a shocker, Stampin' Up!'s paper may not always be exactly 8 1/2" x 11".  This picture shows the sliver of cardstock left when cutting both card bases exactly at 5 1/2".  For this very reason, I make sure that each of the card bases (or card layers) are exactly 5 1/2" wide.  The same holds true for the 11" measurement.
