hi all! probably stupid question - made the front of a card 5.5"x3.75"-saved.
decided i really liked it and wanted to print 2 on letter size cardstock and cut in half- kind of hoping i could copy/paste- so i would have 2 on one sheet. started "new project" with letter size dimensions and tried to drag "card"into it and all it does is open the card project - will not go into new paper size. can i do this??? any help would be appreciated. thank you!!! melinda

Melinda,
you should change your name.

Probably the only problem is that you need to save a copy of your card as a jpg prior to trying to place two on a page. After you save your card front as a jpg:

Open your jpg
select> all
edit> copy

Open your new project
edit> paste

use the move tool to resize/move the card front into position.

This will work easier if your new blank project is the same resolution as your original jpg

And realize - to make cards - your card fronts need to be at the bottom half of your page.
Or for side opening cards, your front has to be on the right side of your page.

Janice...love your Easter card. How did you do the watermark-look on the "stamped" flowers? Very classy. Shar
