Card size preference

[silverst170]

I only make a5 size Winnie I can't seem to fit all my goodies on a smaller card lol

I get many of my envelopes from ebay, I've been able to get most sizes I've needed including oversize ones for bulky A5 cards (e.g. decoupaged ones).

I've never done any cards bigger than A5 or six inch square - as I've said I worry about postage costs! But I never find filling my larger cards a problem - I'm quite happy to have a little "white space" on them! I don't think it's always necessary to decorate things to within an inch of their lives...

I use a variety of card sizes but mainly A5 and square cards.

I have recently tried a few large cards A4 and an 8" x 8" but really did not get on with them very well. I found that amy embellishments I put on were all too small and looked really out of proportion.

It is difficult to 'size up' ideas too. The first couple I tried I had to scrap as I fell into the trap of filling up the empty spaces with yet more bits and pieces. The results were completely disorganised and not coherent designs.

I think I shall stick to A5 and the smaller square ones.
