So, do I use the 9"x12" or the 8"x10" block? They're both 3/8" thick, so there's no problem carivng on both sides.
I guess it depends on how tiny I want to carve my snowflakes. ;- j
Time to work up the cartoon and see.
Snowflakes and castle sans trees.
And of course I have to pick my snowflakes.
I love snowflakes! (At a distance.) ;- >

Playing with motif placement in PageMaker. If I want to print out a cartoon and transfer it to the blocks, I have to translate an 9"x12" image to fit an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.
Where the outside rectangle is the block and the inside rectangle is the sheet of paper.
Of course I need to leave room for my chop (which I might actually carve separately this time).
~*~
Math is my weakest suit, so I'm trying to juggle three sizes: block, paper, actual card size (5.5"x8.25").
Here's what my cobbled cartoon looks like scaled down to the card size:
Now I can pull this off if the snow fades out to white on the bottom. This particular image assumes a separate chop, as the top and bottom of the board are represented by the pale gray lines.
I have to keep in mind the wind-marks I want to include. They can't go below the top or bottom of the board.
Oh well, I can always resort to letting my hubby the math wiz work it out for me. ;- j Why else did I marry him?
I haven't done it before, but the title can actually be added when the card is created in vistaprint.

Hey! come on, gal, go for the black & white snow flake - the really ornate one! It would make a lalapalooza card. ;-)
Ha! I might go insane. I'm drawn to both the feathery ones and the geometric ones, so I'll probably throw in both, but I haven't settled on the large snowflake yet.
