What size are these cards designed to be when finished? I downloaded the svg of the bulbs with Merry Christmas and the bulbs and string seem to almost be to big for the placement or it seems off. Part of the design would end up being on the back of the card. Unless I’m doing something wrong/. Thanks
Hi! The cards are designed for you to scale them to any desired size. I made mine as 5 x 7-inch cards.
