How to cut Card Layers to give perfect borders

Sometimes we have started a hobby of crafting & making our own cards but no one really has showed us the basics of card making So we just blunder along wondering why our layers are not even all the way around

There is just one simple rule that I stick to and that is by cutting each layer 1/4" smaller than the last If you remember this golden rule you will never have trouble getting the right layers again

Check out my video below showing you exactly how to cut your layers starting from the base of your card
