The paper dimensions are:

Card #2

Here is the inspiration card (above) with the paper I'm using for the new card (below).
The paper dimensions are:
paper a (purple with designs)- 2 1/4" x 5 1/2"
paper b (solid purple)- 2" x 5 1/2"

paper c(solid green)- 3 1/2" x 1 1/2"

Card #3

Here is the inspiration card with the paper I'm using for the new card.
The paper dimensions are:
paper a- 4" x 5 1/4"

Cut your 12" x 12" paper to 8" x 10 1/2" (shown below with the extra papers you'll have)Next cut your paper to 4" x 5 1/4". You do that by cutting it in half longways and then cutting those 2 long papers in half. (Hopefully this is a good visual to demonstrate that!)Then you'll center it on your card and adhere it to the blank card.
paper b- 4" x 1 3/4"

Cut your a 3 1/2" strip from your 12" x 12" paper. Cut that in half longways so you'll have two equal strips (both will be 12" x 1 3/4")Next, cut those strips three times each... you'll have 6 strips that measure 4" x 1 3/4".paper c- 3 x 1 1/2" Do the same as you did with the green paper, just alter the measurements a little... cut a 3" x 12" strip of paper from your 12" x 12" cardstock. Cut in half longways so you'll have two strips that measure 1 1/2" x 12". Then you'll cut those down to 1 1/2" x 3". You'll get 8 strips of white from that.

The paper dimensions are:

Get your 12" x 12" piece of decorative paper. Cut it to 8 1/2" x 11". Then cut that paper in half so you'll have 2 sheets of paper that are 4 1/4" x 11". (Here's how the paper looks after you've cut it. The 2 on the bottom left are the papers you'll use. The piece on the right and the long strip on top are scraps you can use for other projects.)
Then you'll cut those every 3 1/4" for your final piece. Those 2 strips you cut will give you 6 pieces.paper b- 1" x 4 1/4"
