Default which CS 81/2x11 or 12x12 is better???

Which card stock do you think is better for making cards. The sheet that you can get more cards out of, with the less scraps?? I want to order ALOT of CS, but am not sure of which size to choose. THANKS a BUNCH!!!

I like using 8 1/2 X 11, cut it in half and you get two cards, it also easier to store than 12 X 12.

For everyday A2 cards, 8 1/2 x 11. Less waste, 2 cards per sheet.

I only by 12 x 12 because I like to have a few print sheets or I want to make a large holder.

8 1/2 by 11 is the best CS to use when you are making cards. Like others have suggested, you just cut it in half and you have two cards. No muss, no fuss.

Default Well, sometimes more is better

If you use 12 x 12 for cards, you will have extra paper in the color you need to embellish, punch shapes, tags, etc. Just a thought....
