Default What size cards do you normally do?

I am curious on the size Cards everyone normally makes. I have been starting to do alot of 6 x 6 cards and I enjoy them. Also Make te A2 cards alot. Not sure why but I don't do alot of 5 x 7 ones...

Almost all of my cards are a half piece of 8 1/2 x 11 folded. Not sure if that is the A2 or not but that is what I do.

I make A2's -- quarter sheet of 8.5x11 cardstock. I hate having to pay extra postage.

I make mostly a2 as well, sometimes a few bigger ones, espcially ones for work or for DH's work. I am the resident card maker for both. LOL!

I agree - A-2's. Least waste of standard paper, and you can buy plastic sheets them in flip albums. Easier to store and share.

I like the 6x6 but find envelopes either hard to find or expensive. so I also stick with the A2 for most cards.

A2 for me! I just feel like I get the most out of my cardstock that way. 4 1/4 x 5 1/2!

I do mainly 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 if you are measuring the card front. I don't like to make my own envelopes and I can get the most of my card stock this way.

I do like to make square cards for special cards such as invitations. These cards end up being somewhere between 5 x 5 and 6 x 6 depending on the size of envelopes that I can find.

Take care, Brenda (Qbee)

I do mostly A2. For same reasons previously stated. The envelopes for
larger sizes are quite a bit more expensive even if you are using SU's, and also the postage factor. An extra 23c for just a card grinds on me!
