the sheets work great for 3x5 cards, but the sheets rip when we try to separate at the seams to accommodate the larger 4x6 cards. any tips?

I got the sheets for 4x6 cards. But MUCH cheaper idea is to get plain old sheet protectors ($7.99 for a box of 100) and tape your recipe cards to a sheet of paper and insert. You can get oversize binders and oversize indexes so the tabs will stick out past the pages (at any office supply store.)

Deck of cards are thicker than my paper. If I put two of these papers together, it should be about the right thickness as deck of cards. I am going to buy thicker paper the next time I order. My printer can print my paper with no problems. Now, just an idea, go look into Silhouette Cameo Starter Bundle Kit, this is very interesting, I think you will like to try it. I plan to buy it very soon. Take care Thomas

I suggest using a decent quality card stock (available at walmart, kmart, craft stores in both stationery and craft sections) and laminating it - that would be a much better way to make stiff cards - this will disappoint you for that purpose.

I usually take the top tray out and load one or two 11 x 17 sheets with the 11" side in first and let the rest of the sheet stick out the end. This has worked without any problems but it sometimes takes all the sheets at once. Hope that helps!

I just used regular queen size sheets and pull them down on the end. It works fine

Personally, I feel that there would be too much negative space between the rows if you used non-graded cards due to their smaller dimensions. The product itself is great though, just maybe not your best option.

Try putting five sheets of regular paper in the bottom of the feed tray before loading the transparency paper. Also, I add the transparency paper one by one to make sure the sheets don't stick. Works for me.

The easiest way I can think of is to cut small squares of paper or card stock and insert them to the empty spaces. Also, if you are using 3 ring binders, then just use three ring paper between pages.

The holes do line up however because of the way the regular binder closes the page gets moved and the hole rip quickly after use. My daughter has these pages in a regular binder and the last page rips its holes and moves everywhere if you use the actual Artisan BINDERS then you shouldn't have any issues with this problem I haven;t had any with my pages in the Artisan Binders

I haven't tried mutliple cards but, I would imagine it would be to tight and might bend the corners of your card if not tear the seams of the plastic envelope. I used a bigger size to hold up to five A2 cards.

I have used the machine to punch cardstock, say about 4-6 sheets, for our financial statement covers and it works well. It would probably depend on how thick your pages are. Its a great machine and works very well for us. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

They do not fit on a bed with 15" corners by at least 3". Too, the size that I needed, and purchased, (Cal King) was dimensionally too small and could not be stretched to fit. Given the poor quality of the fabric that I experienced they wound up tearing at the seam so I've given all sets to charity with hopes that they can find a use for them. FYI, I've since purchased Veratex sheets and they are great; yes, they're more expensive but I could have saved money if I'd have bought them in the first place.

Yes just cut the sides to the size you want. I have found when I use these dies the card is actually not long enough. So I add paper to both sides.

Depending on the laminate sheets I use I get the same outcome. I've had to unscrew it to remove the sheets inside. Try a thicker laminate and see if that works.

I just tried an old gift card, and the machine cuts most of the card horizontally - the papers do get cross cut though. It appears that the machine is designed with a certain length where the cross cut happens, that may be the reason the card shred came mostly horizontal.

I bought "portable crib" sheets; they are very tight but do work. However, the sheets were inexpensive and may have shrunk in the dryer.

I have a combination of both 3x5 and 4x6 and unfortunately they do get lost a little. I try to keep them organized both by type of recipe and size of card with the smaller ones in front, but they still sit pretty low. Not as handy as I would like and eventually I will probably convert everything to the larger cards.
