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!

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.

• An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

  December 1, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

  Save

  Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

  Save

  I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
  My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

  There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

  Save

  What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

  I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

• Fabulous fun fold card with the Fluffy Squirrel bundle

  November 28, 2025

  ---

  I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

  I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

  Save

  There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
  First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

  Save

  It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
  – Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
  – Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
  – Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″

  Thanks for making this adorable swap card for us Candy!
