The design of this card was inspired by some cards I saw on Pinterest.
Math and measuring aren’t my
strong point … this card took some time to figure out, but I am very pleased
with the result. To figure out the key sizing, I started by measuring
the saw and hammer stamps. I had to add
some more length to the rectangle for the hammer to balance the design.
The finished card is 5" x 7".
The white background is 4 ¾” x 6 ¾”.
