Today I’m sharing how to create 4Bar cards and card bases using the Essentials By Ellen 4Bar Rectangles! This fun note card size is a great way to change up your card making game and the new Essential 4Bar Rectangles will create the perfect layers for your 4Bar cards!
Hi! It’s Carissa Wiley here with you today. I’m sharing some easy 4Bar cards that you’re going to love featuring the Essentials By Ellen 4Bar Rectangle dies. These new Essentials By Ellen dies create the perfect layers for your 4Bar cards!

I must admit. Sometimes I get in a rut and I need to change up my card making game to inspire my creativity. Creating a smaller 4Bar card is a great way to do that!
I love the adorable 4Bar size because it creates the perfect little note card size. A finished 4Bar card measures 3 1/2 inches by 5 inches. They’re fun to give with a little treat. And it’s easy to find 4Bar envelopes as well!
Want to create a 4Bar card base? That’s easy and I’ll show you how in today’s video tutorial. The key is to start with a piece of paper that measures 7 inches by 10 inches. Then you can cut it in half either way to make two 4Bar card bases.











Thanks for joining me today! I hope today’s cards have inspired you to create some 4Bar cards the next time you take the time to craft! Until next time, I hope you have a fabulous day!
XOXO
Carissa

FUN card size! Love the hexagons. I did not realize the Essentials dies cut those frames- now I want them all.
BTW- Your t-square ruler looks shorter than 12 inches…..is it? and if it is, where did you get it??
