I try to make 10 Christmas cards each month until I feel I have enough, so that I will have them all finished before Fall and the start of the holidays (yeah I'm already behind). I also love So Silk paper, and try to make sure I always have a supply of all of the colors! Good question about these cards for the Church charity. The card bases that they make have information printed on them about the charity. Their bases are the same size as the ones I always make, which (after folding) are 5.5" x 4.25". I always make sure that my panels with mat are smaller than that, so that a bit of the white will show when the panels are mounted on them, and my panels are not too big for them. Whenever I use the largest die in the Crimped Frame die set (which is very often lol), it cuts my panel to 5.25" x 4". I then cut the mat to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". That leaves about as much white of the base card showing as mat.Dianne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463606037233590184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970618056800479159.post-66084579894783491372021-04-08T17:54:40.258-07:002021-04-08T17:54:40.258-07:00Yeah, 15 of one design is a lot.

I just LOVE SO Silk paper! I am curious about when you make cards for them, as you're making just the fronts. When they put them on the backs are there any white parts showing from the card itself? Or your card sticks over it? When I make cards I trim the folded card first and work out from there, so I was wondering how it worked going the other direction.
