I myself don't tend to think of images as being "too small" for a card (too big, yes. I am very careful to get the size of the image now before I buy. For this reason, I tend to stick with Hero, Indigoblu,, Justrite, etc. It requires me to become so much better at matting, or using all the stamps on the set to create a multi-matted theme on a 5x7 card. I have some stamps by popular designers that look puny even on an A2 card also. There are so many stamp lines that design for tiny, KISS cards, single layer cards - the stamps are not big enough for a 5x7 card. Now, I have trouble "filling up" a 5 x 7 when I make them for a special occasion, like my grandkids' birthdays. My solution was to switch to A2 and get two cards from one piece of cardstock and have nothing left over! My brain adapted to the smaller size, and I have no trouble with quickly coming up with a layout for the A2.

Then as I got more and more into cardmaking, I fell into the syndrome common to some papercrafters - "I can't bear to waste this leftover paper." When I first started making cards quite a few years ago, I was like you, and felt like the A2 size was too small, and was making 5 x 7's. I posted a little confession a while back that I really don't like A2 :) Not enough room to work! When I make a homemade card, it's usually 5 x 7, but lately I'm loving 4.5 x 6, too. I like getting the rationale for why this became a homemade card standard size � I always wondered. Greeting cards were always Hallmark size (5x7-ish) because everybody bought them at the store!
