  • As a retired teacher, I know that fractions are difficult for many people ( adults and young people alike.) You did a great job of explaining the ruler and layering sizes. Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
  • @user-fz9dr9gb2c
    What a great video! Labeling the different sizes is brilliant. I can’t believe no one has ever done this before❤
  • @judyestrada1446
    Connie- This information is very excellent information for anyone that creates cards. It would work for especially new card makers that are learning ideas for cards. I also think for all card makers that sometimes are trying to figure out how to change up a card to make something a bit different that these would work out perfect to inspire new ideas for them to create. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos to not only teach people but you prepare them to be able to make these & label them to make save them to use over & over. Thank you for sharing your talents with others that are struggling to get going. You are a terrific paper crafter & a great team leader to help so many people . 👏👏👏💕🌻
  • I can not thank you enough for this tutorial. As a beginner this will be so helpful!

    Connie- this is great!! You are so clever. The labeling idea is really genius. This will save me so much time when designing cards to see the subtleties of various borders. Until now I've just been going between 1/8 and 1/4! THANK YOU!
  • @user-gk7ob8yq3x
    Thank you so much Connie👏👏. This tutorial has been extremely helpful. I couldn’t find the download so I typed up the info, cut out the templates and used small removable sticky labels to stick on the sizes. You have helped many confused newbies with this tutorial. Very grateful ❤🌺🦋🕊
  • Connie thank you for taking the time to create and show us this. Would you also have a layering guide for card size 5x7🙏
  • Great video. Thank you. So very helpful! I don't usually have difficulty with fractions, but when I'm tired my brain doesn't work so well. These tips are so very helpful. Thanks again!!!!

    Thank you so much Connie it wasn't until I started making cards that fraction started making sense to me. This is helping to further my understanding. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    Great video, Connie!! I immediately made my templates!! I am also going to use them when I’m trying to center the design on my cardstock!!
  • @lindacastro2688
    Oh Connie! I love you! I've been making cards for years, can read and underestand the numbers on my trimmers, in theory, but... but. I regularly STILL cut wrong sizes, especially when trying to make mat fronts with borders. I confuse myself so often! These downloads are going to help me so much!! Thank you thank you!
