I hope you enjoyed this week's projects. You can refer to the chart for measurements I used to create cards in bulk with DSP but don't feel like it has to be followed exactly. This is just a guide. For the most part, I was working with partial pieces and scraps but this is a nice chart for simple sizes and layouts.

Happy Crafting!
