How I use cardstock to create cards:
All Stampin' Up cardstock solid color packs of 8 1/2" x 11" comes with 24 sheets
except Whisper White and Very Vanilla which come in 40 sheets.
Color Cardstock, 24 sheets, cut in 1/2 for A2 size folding card base = 48 card bases
White & Vanilla, 40 sheets, cut in 1/2 for A2 size folding card base = 80 card bases
If you do post cards or just card fronts (like I do) to write on the backs you can get so much more....
Color Cadstock, 24 sheets, cut in 1/4 for A2 size POSTCARD = 96 postcards
White & Vanilla, 40 sheets, cut in 1/4 for A2 size POSTCARD = 160 postcards
All of my cards are really postcards. I quite making folding cards over a year ago.
Postage is less, and they aren't as thick even with Action Wobbles and dimensionals because there's not that extra piece of cardstock included that's folded over.
I cut a white or vanilla piece for the back to write on.
The following card is made especially for Die Cuttin Divas (brown) and Cute Card Thursday (distress by inking edges or tearing edges - I used heavy inking edges).
