Stamping Basics - How To Cut Cardstock

[@ellengates7843]

I just came across this video, I never tried a double mat because I could not figure the measurements. THANK YOU!!!!

[@judithsigler9644]

Jackie, I certainly think this video series of STAMPING BASICS is a WONDERFUL idea! GREAT for new stampers and GREAT reminders for seasoned stampers, too! I have a set of “most often used mat” sizes that are templates so that whenever I create a card, I can pull out the templates and “play a bit” to see what I ACTUALLY LIKE for the card design! The templates are labeled so they make for an easy reference! Being a “visual designer”, this really helps me a lot! Hope you like “my tip”, too! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’ n’ TIPPIN’!!! :-)

[@judithsigler9644]

Jackie, I forgot to include that the “labels” are the card measurements for each piece! HELPS A LOT! On another note, I recently received the “Paper Shares” from you~~~JACKIE, I LOVE THEM! SO WONDERFUL to get samples of the DSP w/Co-ordinating Cardstock~~IT IS FABULOUS! SO MUCH BETTER TO SEE THE DSP “IN REAL LIFE”~~Only problem now is that I LOVE SO MUCH OF IT! Haha! This was just such a FABULOUS OFFER~~~I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH! :-)))))

[@shirlnases4514]

Yes this is very helpful especially for all those newbies that just started crafting. You are the first Stampin Up demonstrator that took it to another level in sharing those helpful tips. You are awesome and well deserved! I guess for being a demonstrator for 23 some what years your are blessed. Thank you for sharing and hope others will get inspired too!

[@TheUmmeshehryar]

My cardmaking has improved lot since I have started watching your wonderful tutorials❤️

[@carolcheney496]

Very good information. A good video to refer back to.

[@donnakillewald9151]

O.M.G. Thank you thank you! I need help! I have purchased sooooooooo much stuff for cards, Scrapbooking, planners, mixed media. But I need to watch you, for me to learn. I only made 2 cards, and I lack knowledge of how to be a successful crafter. I just now found your channel. I’m not knowledgeable about technology either. So I subscribed to your channel, and I’m looking forward to learning. Thank you!

[@maggiesapanara3959]

Thank you we need this that’s why I subscribed, some of us are beginners and I think some of the demonstrators forget Thanks again, also using the different tool and what they do, so we aren’t afraid to buy new things.

[@introvert22]

I have been making cards for a long time and I’ve always had trouble with layers. This made it clear. Thanks.

[@gingmcd]

How awesome that you're going to do a series of Stamping Basics, Thank You for sharing your tips & techniques !!!

[@momdrea6]

I always get confused. This was a big help, and I've been stamping for many years. Thank you.

[@karensimon6512]

This was extremely helpful, Jackie! Thanks for sharing!!

[@cindipersonette4998]

Thank you, Miss Jackie’s! I rewatch this video every so often to remind myself! I love your straightforward videos, but still with a bit of humor! I would also love a tutorial on card design. What are your considerations when you are designing a card?

[@denisestoner4241]

Jackie, yes this information was indeed very helpful. I have been scrapbooking and card making for a long time, and always find myself making notes for measurements when I see a layout or design that I like. NOW, I can figure it out all by myself... LOL THANKS!!!

[@karenmorrison950]

Thank you for sharing information with us. I've not been stamping very long and I've got a lot to learn.

[@glenislyon22]

That is such a great way to size layers. Thank you so much.

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

So far I have watched your stamp video and the paper video, very helpful. I really appreciate your sharing.

[@lillianrivera2180]

Hi Jackie, I am happy for you to do this. I have a lot of problems when I want to make my own card. Where do I go to get those dimensions . Thank you so much for your help.

[@sharilynwagner8394]

Would you please share how to get the most out of your 12x12 paper! Love and learn a lot from your videos

[@lorrainejames4095]

Lorraine from Australia.Ty Jackie very helpful info.

[@val929]

I definitely appreciate all of your helpful tips! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

[@sheilaperl4155]

Eee, so much math! I will have to watch your video several times before it will sink into my head!! Thank you!

[@kraftymomma1979]

Shelia, I like to make several cards the exact same size and orientation all at once. I too am not mathy.

[@kraftymomma1979]

I also use Post-Its to make little cheat sheets.

[@lorraineturner2817]

Jackie, I thought that was a really useful video tutorial for all us crafters new and old because it is often the language used that confuses people e.g. layers & matts. Also there is that problem that us crafters in the UK have a different sized piece of A4 card stock to start with than you do in the US and I think Canada is the same (But don't quote me on that). But getting crafters to remember that it is about looking at what you have and making it equal on both sides. Thank you Jackie, I have only been crafting for about a year or so now. I have cut quite a lot of card stock though during that year but TOP TIP scoring an A4 piece of card stock and then cutting creating 2 pieces of card stock ready to fold, is a tip that I will take away from this video tutorial. :O)

I love the frame in your background!

This was great. Helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@stampinwithmoobetts2914]

Great video making cutting easier. Thanks

[@marieantoinette5377]

Thank you so much. This tutorial was so helpful!

[@grammie4emory2]

Jackie I just found your KZbin videos this morning and live them. When you were showing this video on Basic Cutting you were showing a card with a cross on the front. Do you have this cross in the Stamping Up products or was this from a store or other product? I really liked your videos and you explain your card making that it makes it so easy to follow. Your videos are also very clear quality. Thank you for helping me understand card making a little better. I am a scrapbookers and trying to also do cards. Keep coming with these basic instructions for us beginners, I love them.

[@kraftymomma1979]

Hi, Jackie! Love your video. I'm obsessed with paper.

[@lisapolesky4699]

Yes 👍Thank you. I was confused how to border my cards.

[@joycehill4399]

Great video. Keep the tips coming. Thank you for the helpful info. It does make cardmaking easier.

[@sandys8552]

Another tip I learned along the card crafting way is: before you score your card stock; lay your card stock in the palm of your hand, if the paper bows downward, lay it on your scoring apparatus & score. If it bows upward, you will be going against the natural bend of the paper.

[@judygordon2935]

Another great video. I have miscue so much card stock due to incorrect measuring!!

[@gwentriche8270]

Love card cutting great help

[@andreagreen571]

This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@judyestrada1446]

Great information! Thank you !

[@kathyhamdy]

Thank you! helped me a lot.

[@deskjockie4948]

Very helpful! I also prefer the 1/8" border around the top layering piece. Do you ever utilize the inside of the border panel for die cuts? TFS!

[@lauramccarthy5352]

thank you so much for those cutting tips, it really helps to make things proportional. may I ask you a question about the shimmering paper? is it the same as the glossy paper? can I use them both for watercoloring or with stampin blends? thanks

[@lauramccarthy5352]

Thank you so much for this information Jackie. One more question, what do you use glossy paper for?

[@jjmartinez6181]

Need a stamping up demonstrator I’m very new to this don’t know where to go or what to do Need your HELP!

[@karenpowery2875]

I learned recently to make up all of the different layers of what you would use to include on any card, then write down the dimensions on each section so you can refer to it while making your card. Look on Pinterest .

[@gizmonl66]

This back to basic series is a great idea! I can't wait to see what other basics I can brush up on! Just wondering if you know the exact weight of the Whisper White regular and thick cardstock? I looked on the SU store and in the catalogue but it doesn't mention the weights of the cardstock. Thanks so much.

[@gizmonl66]

Jackie Bolhuis Thank you very much for this information!!😀

[@alanalendvay6131]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I LOVE YOUR TIPS....

Jackie Bolhuis I check your video’s a few times a day for “how-to’s and inspiration. Blessings!

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Very helpful!

[@nancygreer2263]

Glad I stumbled on your channel! Love the back to basics.... wondering... is there a "layout" to show the best way to cut out cardstock when you are cutting out all of the different sized layering pieces for the different card styles I've seen various Stampin' up demonstrators do? Don't like wasting paper, and it would be great to be able to "prep" pre-cut layers from different colors to just be able to pull from from stash and blast thru a bunch of cards instead of cutting for each project. The plus is not to waste either, so not sure if you have a template, or can recommend where to find one. Thanks again, looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@nancygreer2263]

Jackie Bolhuis look what I found! Thought it might help to share with you kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXvUnWVqmZ2modE

[@barbweisz8517]

Big help

[@brendacooper7944]

Suggestion: make a chart of mat sizes. Then would only have to figure once.

[@veronicaroche4403]

What trimmer do you use.

[@fernzazzetta4651]

Pretty nails 💅🏻 Jackie! 👍🏻💕😘

[@scherylb]

Great video!!! However; I still am lost on what people do with pattern paper. Paper with a busy background - I see paper packs everywhere and I so love the paper but then I look at it and go ...now what on earth do I do with this, if I cut it here it will cut half the image off, if I cut it like this it will cut this off ect.....please explain what one uses those pattern paper packs for other then to cut embellishments out of.... Thank you.

[@adriankap2978]

@@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis Thank you to both question and answer. How do I order a catalog from you? Thank you for sharing your very helpful advice.

[@jaynekeck7038]

Awesome thanks

[@roxaneemerson4286]

Yes thank you

[@vernalapp2306]

Has anyone made a chart of numbers that we that are ruler challenged could just see numbers instead of figuring it all out? I really enjoyed your video and will keep trying...I have heard that when folding it goes better if you fold the mountain in so it doesn't crack as easily? Do you find this to be true? TFS this video.

[@vernalapp2306]

Thanks for the reply, I enjoyed watching the video on sizing and reading the ruler, as easy as it sounds I still have to really THINK before I cut.

[@juliebergacker5680]

Great

[@DocklarProductions]

Struggling so much with the measurements 😞Is there a paper guide we can print out that shows the ruler and the measurements above each lines until I can catch on lol not the best in math 😜😂

[@DocklarProductions]

@@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis I saw your video on the templates and that was helpful. The pre cut cardstock of different sizes . I think that will help me alot. Keep them great videos comming. They are great tools for newbies ✂️💌😜

[@sheliahoosier4382]

The basic card measurements were helpful but you lost me when you had layers of all sizes. I thought the sizes were all the same each time. I will keep watching. Thanks

[@conniebrooks6307]

We call it “ a top folding card base”.

[@conniebrooks6307]

Come sit with me and teach. I’m still confused.

[@junecrotty9583]

Definitely not good in cutting 😂

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

It takes patience and practice!
