Here are the cuts for this 3-1/2" x 8" card:
This card went together quickly (my favorite!) and with just one setting on the Cricut, cutting is a cinch. All the cuts are done at 8".
Remember that the Artbooking cartridge automatically sizes things to fit on the page and since these pages are all 8", it works perfectly for this 8" tall card.
Here is the product I used to make the card:

ReplyDeleteHI Joy,
ReplyDeleteSo much fun all these ideas with the Artbooking Cart. Love them ! I do make 4x8 cards once in awhile when prompt with great ideas like yours :) Thanks for sharing ... have a good day
Like the overlays. Wonderful Cupid Hearts Valentine card. Yes, I have made tall 4" x 8" cards.

Yes, I have made 4 x 8 cards. A bit of a challenge to get the right envelope, however making one to match the card is a nice touch to the card
ReplyDeleteI have not made a 4 x 8 card but I have made 4 x 9-1/4 size card that fit into a #10 envelope as I'm sure that's what's used for a 4 x 8 actually it's a great size to make a scene card. I love your cupid card it's so adorable and yes maam I do have the Artiste cart. kit but you know that *LOL* I love close to my heart cart. kits period. I love your videos so keep 'em comming.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet card! I have never made a 4x8 card, but now I just may have a reason too. I love the artbooking cart!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. Can't say that I have ever made a 4x8 card, but now that I know how easy it is to make one I will have to make some!
ReplyDeletei generally make standard size cards with premade card bases, especially if they're going to be mailed. But if they're for my family I sometimes try something diffent!
ReplyDeletegreat card, I have made 4x8 in the past, but haven't for a while, you've inspired me to do another one!
ReplyDeleteVery cute with the cupid and a background of hearts. I don't think I have ever made a 4x8 card before.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a 4x8 card. Mainly because envelopes are kinda expensive. So I generally make the same size until I run out. Maybe next time I will get those.
ReplyDeletePretty card. I don't think I've ever made a 4x8 card before.

No, I haven't, but I just got the Artbooking cartridge for Christmas, so I'll try a 4 by 8 with it since you showed me the way!
ReplyDeleteI have done 4x8 Christmas cards. Never any others. I'm going to try this. I hope that is a typo for the contest. What you have posted was 3 days ago. Great column anyway.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a 4x8 card - might have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI normally make the normal size cards as I have envelopes for them. If I am hand delivering a card, then I will make them various sizes. I will definitely try the 4x8 size soon!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a 4x8 card yet. But keep inspiring me and I'm sure one will pop out of my cricut soon. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas! rosebud114
ReplyDeleteI have never made a 4" x 8" card, but yours is really cute!
ReplyDeleteI Love making Valentine cards...maybe because it also happens to be my Birthday! I also have a Nephew to share my birthday with and my grandson was born on the 15th...So Valentine's Day is always fun at our house. In fact my now almost 11 yr old grandson...loves using the Cricut...He always comes over to make the Valentines for his classmates at school...so I will be showing him these fun Valentine cards...although I will not have the cartridge on time for this year...I am ordering it today....I have plenty of others with Valentines ! LOL I would love to win this new one too...have not tied cutting fabric yet...would be fun to try! Linda Talso
ReplyDeleteI have made 4X8 cards but not to often. I do whatever size card my design will look best on. Thank you for all the great card ideas. Jill P., Manteca, CA
ReplyDeleteI love the Artbooking Cartridge. I don't make cards; I mainly scrapbook and do other paper crafting.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card! And what a fab cartridge!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a 4x8 card, but after seeing all of your beautiful ones, I'm going to have to give it a try! hugs~~Patty
ReplyDeleteLove this card! I haven't made a 4 x 8 card yet, but thanks to your video I now know how and I'm encouraged and excited to make them. Thanks for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a 4x8 card, but I'm always up for something new! Thanks for the chance to win!

I love your card with all the hearts! I do think that this cartridge would work great for bulletin boards! My favorite thing I like/LOVE is when you show all of your cuts to the pages of the cartridge you used! I get a good look into the cartridge to see if I want it or not (with me it's always a want my wish list is so long) ! Ok on your heart overlay cut -the cut to the right is that a bag tie cut for treat bags? (page 60 bottom right corner) would love to know TFS & a chance at this week cartridge;) oh on the 4x8 card I have not made one.
ReplyDeleteRosebud222222222
Oh Joy! I'm Sorry it was page 48 not 60!
ReplyDeleteRosebud222222222
I have made 4X8 cards - a fun size. Your card is so cute.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law gave me a box of 4x8 cards and envelopes so I've made a few and am always looking for more ideas for them! thanks for sharing this cute idea for one
ReplyDeleteNo, I have only made 4 x 8 card one time at a card class...I do not know why I don't make more.. I like them. Thanks for suggestion that size and a sample.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time moving to storage so I had no clue what I need to do, what unit size I need. I walked to this storage place and I observed how the staff on duty was interacting with existing customers and that in start made me feel confident about moving forward with my choice.
ReplyDeleteI normally make the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried making a 4x8 card. I am still saving up for this cartridge. I have the first 2 cartridges & I can't wait to have this as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. I don't think I've ever made a 4x8 card.
ReplyDeleteGreat card - what is the paper with the keys on it?
ReplyDeleteElaine S.
A card that size would have to have its own envelope made for it wouldn't it? b/c I've never seen that size...at least I don't think I have.
ReplyDeleteI have not made a 4x8 card.
ReplyDeleteI love this card. I really enjoy your cards.

Interesting size card, I might have to try that. Love your page. TFS
ReplyDeleteI have not made any 4 x 8 cards. I usually make smaller cards.
ReplyDeleteTracy Harrell
This a wonderful card, and it doesn't seem too difficult to make. It's fun to do cards when you have kids around the house and it's also a nice though for the oh, so busy grown-ups.
