He graduated from private...Jack is doing very well. He graduated from private speech therapy about a year ago and continues to receive OT and Speech (pragmatic, social) through the schools. He is well liked by his typical peers, enjoys inclusion classes (with modified curriculum) for Social Studies and Science, attends intervention classes for Language Arts and Math (he's pretty weak in math but doing extremely well with reading), and goes to Band, Art, PE, and lunch without an aide. He plans on doing show choir next year in 7th grade. <br /><br />If you live in the US, a standard card size is 4.25" x 5.5"...half a sheet of card stock folded in half. The chart shows the sizes to cut panels for even matting all the way around on a standard card. That just means your stamped panel fits evenly on the card. And if you want to mat the stamped panel, all you need to do is move up one on the chart, cut the mat to those dimensions, and it will make a perfectly proportioned mat. <br /><br />If your stamped panel is 3.75" x 2.5", for example, you can cut a mat for it that is 1/4" larger on both sides...4" x 2.75". If you look at the chart, you just need to move one increment larger for the mat. The finished mat will stick out from under the panel 1/8" all the way around.<br /><br />I hope that helps, and welcome to Simplicity!Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-58105350089868520052015-02-04T00:58:14.386-05:002015-02-04T00:58:14.386-05:00Hello Simplicity, I am new to your blog.

My sorority sister has a son who is autistic, I will keep you lifted in positive thoughts and prayer. <br /><br />I have to admit that I am new to card making (Dec 2014) so I struggle through sizing my cards and creating mats that are the right size. I love your chart, but I must admit that I don't really understand it. Can you tell me how or where to learn this very basic step?
