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.  

Save

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: 

Save

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! 

Save

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.

• Modern Christmas card idea

  October 15, 2025

  ---

  Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
  This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

  Save

  Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

  The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

  She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

  Save

  I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

  Save

  I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

• Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene

  October 14, 2025

  ---

  Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

  Save

  My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.

  
  It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
  Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

  Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

  Save

  This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

  Save

  I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

• Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

  October 13, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

  Save

  It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

  Save

  Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

  Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

  Save

  These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

  Save

  Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
  This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.
