Cut once for two card fronts with the Border Basics dies; video tips & tutorial too

June 27, 2023

I shared one of the cards I made in last week's video and here's another one. Both feature the same three products: Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.

I used the White die-cut leftover from the card I shared yesterday on this card; basically getting two cards from one die-cut!

The Border Basics dies are wonderful and so versatile since they die-cut the stitched edge on both sides. Below is a photo of the inside of the card:

The Celebrate, Happy Birthday, stars and present die-cuts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here:

Here are both cards I shared; each with a different piece of the Masterfully Made CS. As you can see I added a thin line of card stock to rest the 'Celebrate' die-cut on. I love the effect!

You can see this beautiful designer paper here. It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

The photo below shows both cards; one cut for two card front!

I cut the right side of the card front off (on the left card) and used that piece on the card on the right. Essentially I cut the card front in half and added it to the card on the right, adding DSP underneath to show off the angles. One cut; two cards!

You can see how I made this card on the video here. Or click on the photo below to watch. Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on my YouTube channel here.

Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

July 2, 2024

Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle. I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

Save

They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here. I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. *Click on each title to see them in my store.

The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here. I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints. *my free tutorial of the month features this suite! See below.

Save

The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side.

All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut.

I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.
