      You can lay the card in the middle of the paper and make sure when you fold in the two side flops that it covers the card that will determine how big you need it

    • @prosperousutensil8178
      @prosperousutensil8178 Год назад +8

      Measure the long side of your card. That measurement needs to be half of your square measured corner to corner, with just a smidge so you can fit the card in, probably add 1/4 of an inch. So if the long side of your card is 7 in then your square corner to corner needs to measure about 14 and 1/4 in.
