Working with 11\" x 14\" printmaking paper, I chose to go with an A2 size card: 8. 5\" x 5. 5\" (flat) / 4.25\" x 5. 5\" (folded), a cute size I can easily to find envelopes for and can get two cards from each sheet of paper. Just Google \"standard greeting card sizes\" to find more card size options that are easy to find envelopes for. Next, let's create a registration template, a handy tool to help keep your block and paper in place when printing!  \nMAKE A REGISTRATION TEMPLATE  \n1. Using a steel ruler and fine line Sharpie, draw out  \nthe shape/exact size of your flat card dimension on a piece of chipboard, extending the lines past the corners. This is how you will reference where to place your paper when printing. NOTE: I covered my chipboard in yellow masking tape, to make it easier to see the drawn guidelines.  \n2. Using your lino block, \"float\" it in the space on  \nthe front of your card (in my case, the bottom area of the card, allowing for a bigger bottom margin to embellish) . Trace the block outline in its final position, extending the lines past the corners.
