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.

  This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live.  With two a week there's a lot! 

  Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

  I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!

  I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.

• Prized Peony bundle; wow!

  July 10, 2020

  ---

  Look at these gorgeous cards Mary and Karen made for a Flowerbug's Team swap last month.  They both used items in the new Peony suite seen here. 

  Save

  Mary's colors are Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam with Gray Granite.  She sponged a bit of Petal Pink onto the Peony petals.  The other products here are the new Vellum square doilies and Elegant Faceted Gems. that designer paper is from the In Good Taste package seen here. 

  Save

  Karen used the Peony Garden designer paper as a background and the new Magenta Madness card stock with Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive for leaves.  That pretty scalloped edge is included in the Peony dies.  

  You might think it's difficult to put the peony flower together, but Stampin' Up! made it super easy.  It's just 4 die-cuts and they layer easily.  You match up the bottom edge of each die-cut for a perfect fit each time.  I made a video of it here on FB.

  See the whole Prized Peony Bundle here.
