Trading Cards

[angel4stampers]

Can anyone tell me the size of trading cards to get the most of a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock? I don't remember. Thanks for your help.

Most trading cards I've dealt with in swaps have been 2.5x3.5 or 2.75x3.5 and you can fit 8 to a standard 8.5x11 sheet. 2 lengthwise on the 8.5 edge (3.5x2=7) and 4 widthwide on the 11 edge (4x2.5=10 or 4x2.75=11). Hope this helps.

You can actually get 10 - 2.5 X 3.5" trading cards from one sheet of 8.5 X 11" cardstock. Here's a link to the cutting directions:

HTH!

Hi
I am new to this site and plan to become a demo in the fall. Please tell me what you would use these trading cards for and if you would make them all the same or different.
Thanks!
