Isn’t this a fabulous idea? I have used this extended card idea so many times since I’ve shared it over the years. I’m amazed at how many times I have needed a card for a group to sign.
My hope is that you were super inspired and I hope you will keep this idea in the back of your mind for when you need it.
Awesome idea! Sure is nicer than what I’ve done before! Thanks for sharing this mind-blowing tip!
Emily, I am so glad you found the tip helpful. It sure helped me!
What a great idea, Connie. Thank you for sharing. I love your videos and have learned so much from them!
Thanks so much Nancy!
I am assuming that all versions of this great idea can be sent in the US for regular postage?
As long as the layers don’t take the weight over 1 oz. I just weighed the last card (which would have been the heaviest) and it was under 1 oz. Hope that helps!
Wow, nice idea and glad to know it will still mail.
light bulb for sure!! thanks for sharing.
Another genius idea. Thanks for sharing. I learn so much from you!

Oh good!!! I am so glad this helped!
This tip could not have come at a more opportune time. I was just asked to make a card with enough room for 10 people to sign it. Thank you so much!!
I am so glad that this tip saved the day!
Connie – You always manage to show us ways to simplify our card making so that you can mass produce cards to share with friends and loved ones. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with others, I appreciate what you do!
Peaches, that is the sweetest compliment. Thank you for making me smile today!!!
Fabulous! Thanks for all the time you take to help and inspire your followers. This tip will come in handy on future cards I make that require that little extra-extra. ☺️
I’m so glad that this tip was helpful Beverly!
Thank for sharing your ideas, I wished I thought of it. It is so easy and simple. I just love it. ?❤️❤️❤️
I hope it comes in handy in the future for you Karin!
Oh, Connie! This is so helpful! I often have to make cards for church that I need everyone to sign. I have been doing 8.5×11 cards scored 5.5. It’s so hard to decorate that size when stamps are designed smaller. This will add to my abilities and design possibilities! I love you videos. They are so helpful!
Many thanks from Canada

Oh my goodness. This technique is PERFECT. Often, I want to include a short letter with my card, and this will allow me to give them the card and the message all in one. No separate paper!! Love it. You always have the best ideas. Thank you.
