I’m not a newbie stamper but I still love to watch to learn some tricks and tips. The layering with the labels on there is a great idea. I ALWAYS forget the sizes.
Thanks Amy for your kind note and for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Oh, yes you should absolutely make a template. Or how about I send you mine. I made a few extras will mail it to you tomorrow. Feel better!! Hugs, Brandy
First time I've watched your video. Totally impressed. Would like to receive a catalog and order the trimmer. Never made a card before, but after watching how step-by-step you demonstrate, I just may give it a try. 😊
Hello Brandy, I am glade I found this is great TFS because I did a card class for Women’s Ministry Feb. 20th. It was fun we made two cards.😊 Aloha and Mahalo since I am from Hawaii.
ditto on not a newbie I like to review tips etc when I haven't stamped for a while also handy when working with a newbie. Thanks for the refresher course
Thank you, you are teaching card making very easy for me now and I love the beautiful things you are teaching to make so many new cards I didn't know what to do with them, thank you so much. Best Wishes to you always too
I just stumbled upon your video. The tips you gave for cutting card stock is so helpful. I’ve always tried eyeballing it before which is impossible to get completely even. I look forward to watching more of your beginning videos and others that you have on RUclips. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I have never cut card stock because I’ve always bought it. I’m new to card making…about 6 months. I love it! I hope it’s as easy for me to do.
Thank you so much Brandy. Showing the measurements made a little clearer of how to layer ur cards. TYFS!!! Be blessed!!! Looking forward to other learning tutorials.
Love this Brandy! Sometimes, we just gotta go back to the basics- we get caught up in all these fancy folds- that I too, get lost on my mat measurements needed for my cards!♡
I'm soo new to card making and I've been practicing my card seem to come out under size 😩🤔 highly frustrating I have a scoring board and a guillotine but this no luck so I'm playing after Searching all day and evening I will finally learn what I'm doing wrong ❤
This was just the video I was looking for when I started stamping! I just needed the basics! Unfortunately for me I was watching women in the UK and Im in the US and it took quite awhile to figure out why my measurements were off! 😁 Im excited about this series!
I am not a beginner but like others have said, it's always good to refresh! Like Amy, I too am going to make my labels for my layers. That will speed things a long because I too forget sizes!!
Thank you Brandy. Am a senior card maker from UK and find my memory is often failing me. As our measurements are in metric and our normal A4 card is different size to your 81/2 x 11 inch card, find measureme to soooo confusing. Also confused because I have quite a bit of USA cardstock so find myself making lots of mistakes. Will copy your measurements and make myself some templates to keep from making so many mistakes. Back to basics is not just for newbies, some of us oldies find your basic videos really helpful as well. Thanks and regards from UK 🇬🇧
Hi there. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm not a newbie card maker, but your explanation on how to cut card bases by dividing in half made so much sense. Duh, I don't know why I struggled with this before. And I made my own template for the layering so I can quickly see how to cut my layers, including using a 1/2 or more border if I want. Thanks for the tips. I'm sure I'll learn more as you work through this series.
Brandy , love this series, but yes I get mess up with 3/8. 1/4 3/4 why can't we just do 1/2 , 3 inch, 4 inch I will be watching this one over & over Thanks
Thank you for this great video! Sometimes when I fold my card base, it won't be even on the side. I use the SU trimmer and scoring blade. What am I doing wrong?
You can stamp on the inside corner or add a strip of cardstock to the side or bottom. Check out some of my other videos and you'll get some ideas. PLUS, check back frequently for new card ideas where I often do show the inside of the cards.
I've been making Stampin Up cards for years, but I always appreciate your tips and tricks. You have helped me become more proficient and using my supplies without waste or frustration! Thanks Brandy!!
I’m not a newbie but this is great info. I remember when I was learning was the die cut machine… learning how to use at the different layers, I can’t tell you how many time I would ask and I just couldn’t remember. I think showing the steps of learning card making is a brilliant idea:) tfs:)
Instead of scoring and ending up eith edges a tiny bit off.. With the arm closed and the cutterbar raised you can bump your card against the bottom and the arm then fold top down the press for the crease and the edges come out perfectly matched
Glad i found you. Subscribing, too. Why do my cardstock when I cut them, they don’t come out smooth? It’s fuzzy. I am using Fiskar paper cutter. My white cardstock is 110 lb/300 gsm. Is it my paper cutter or my cardstock being thick? Your paper cutter has a feature to get a nice fold without creating a crease on the card? Pls advise. I am tuning in. Thanks
Hi Brandy, I watched your video on cutting and layering card stock. You stated, we could go to the bottom of the video for pdf for the layering measurements...not there, I even went to your blog. I would appreciate any help you could give me. I see I'm not the only one that can't find it. ❤
Hey, Brandy! Little late, but quite meant: Happy New Year! I'm jealous of you guys, A4 just doesn't make sense. It makes cutting layers so difficult, unless you start by cutting off a strip - what a waste! *I've used the strips for all kinds of things, but I make many cards, so usually have too many strips ...
Hi Brandy, Even though I’ve been stamping a long time I still learn something from all of your videos, plus you are just so much fun to watch! What color is the cardstock in the smallest layer…coral? It’s gorgeous!
I love how you post for beginner card makers how to use the tools.
Very clear presentation
I’m not a newbie stamper but I still love to watch to learn some tricks and tips. The layering with the labels on there is a great idea. I ALWAYS forget the sizes.
Thanks Amy for your kind note and for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Oh, yes you should absolutely make a template. Or how about I send you mine. I made a few extras will mail it to you tomorrow. Feel better!! Hugs, Brandy
I agree. I have been doing this a while and always struggle looking forward to advanced layering techniques.
This will be great Brandy, I have a hard time measuring and cutting my paper the right way! Either to small or to Big!!
TIP: reduce one step by SCORING first (if cutting first, it requires scoring two times). This will be a great intro series for new crafters!
Great Tip and will for sure share!! Thanks Mary
Great idea.
Oh my gosh. I've been making cards for almost 20 years and never thought to do that!!! Thank you!
Thank you for doing this series! Where can I get card stock? A place like Michael’s?
I finally learned how to cut cardstock for card bases. Thanks Brandy.
You are so welcome! So glad it was helpful!!!
thank you! You helped alot and explained it very simply.
Great info for us non beginners who cant cut properly! Thanks

Great video. Could you explain the different Cardstock weights. And what weight you prefer. And soild core and not solid core. For card bases.
Love this Brandy! Sometimes, we just gotta go back to the basics- we get caught up in all these fancy folds- that I too, get lost on my mat measurements needed for my cards!♡
I'm soo new to card making and I've been practicing my card seem to come out under size 😩🤔 highly frustrating I have a scoring board and a guillotine but this no luck so I'm playing after Searching all day and evening I will finally learn what I'm doing wrong ❤
Thanks. Love the idea of cutting templates with the measurements with all the layers. Thank you!!
This was just the video I was looking for when I started stamping! I just needed the basics! Unfortunately for me I was watching women in the UK and Im in the US and it took quite awhile to figure out why my measurements were off! 😁 Im excited about this series!
New to all of this! How wonderful ! Thank you
I am not a beginner but like others have said, it's always good to refresh! Like Amy, I too am going to make my labels for my layers. That will speed things a long because I too forget sizes!!

I'll have to rewatch on replay since I missed most of the live.
Thanks so much Brandy! Such a great way to start the year. 😊
Aww... Thank you for stopping by and for your kind note. I hope you found it helpful. Happy New Year!!

Great Video!

This was a very helpful video
After decorating the front, what do you do with the inside. Great video 🥰
You can stamp on the inside corner or add a strip of cardstock to the side or bottom. Check out some of my other videos and you'll get some ideas. PLUS, check back frequently for new card ideas where I often do show the inside of the cards.

Hi Brandy from Janet in Kentucky. "thumbs up" given. I always find your videos super helpful! Thank you!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
So cool! Thanks, Brandy! 🤗🥰
Hi Brandy! Muncie, IN
It would always be great to end the video with a layering card/ example. Loved your video.
Thanks❤
Instead of scoring and ending up eith edges a tiny bit off.. With the arm closed and the cutterbar raised you can bump your card against the bottom and the arm then fold top down the press for the crease and the edges come out perfectly matched
Love that!! Thank u!
Glad i found you. Subscribing, too. Why do my cardstock when I cut them, they don’t come out smooth? It’s fuzzy. I am using Fiskar paper cutter. My white cardstock is 110 lb/300 gsm. Is it my paper cutter or my cardstock being thick?
Your paper cutter has a feature to get a nice fold without creating a crease on the card? Pls advise. I am tuning in. Thanks
Brandy, will you guys ever get the little trimmer back. I sure would love one. thank you.
Same 🥰
HI LB, Thanks for reaching out. As of right now, there is no sign of the mini trimmer coming back. I love it for those small pieces!!
Hi Brandy, I watched your video on cutting and layering card stock. You stated, we could go to the bottom of the video for pdf for the layering measurements...not there, I even went to your blog. I would appreciate any help you could give me. I see I'm not the only one that can't find it. ❤
Good video, very informative.
Great video, nice for the refresh and tips. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Annette!
the paper trimmer is unavailable is it retired or just out of stock? Thank you for these tips.
