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

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!

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.

  • See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet

    Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.

    That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
    2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
    3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
    4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
    5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
    6. Finish your card as you'd like.

    I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

    The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

    Leaf Collection Emboss resist Save

    1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
    2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
    3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

    The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

  • Let’s Chat is cute & nostalgic! See the video & free project sheet

    Today I'm sharing one of the Club cards we made during my April Card Clubs. I chose the 'Let's Chat' stamp set seen here. 

    Let's Chat Club Save

    I love this set!  Between the fun old-fashioned telephone, the greetings and the curvy 'cord' images it's a blast to create with.

    I chose to use the retiring Hot Air Balloon designer paper seen here for my color palette of Fresh Freesia & Balmy Blue. We did fussy cut the head set to add at the top with Stampin' Dimensionals.

    For the inside of the card I used the Happy Little Things stamp set seen here.  I really like the many greeting combinations you can make. t's one of our online exclusives.
