Fun 4-Way Split Angled card idea; Live video tonight!


We're making these fun but easy cards on tonight's Facebook Live.  It's at 7:30 pm CT here.  I hope you can join me!  If not it will be added to my YouTube channel here as well.  *Be sure to follow me on FB so you won't miss these lives! 

Every 2nd & 4th Monday night's I host a 'Stamp with Me' live on Facebook where we create striking cards using Designer Paper or a fun technique.  If you're new to stamping you'll become more comfortable and efficient at it.  If you're a seasoned stamper you'll still enjoy it and get new ideas to create. 

Tonight I'll share a version of this card; I'm calling it a 4-way Split Angled card. 

The card above features the Abstract Beauty specialty designer paper in the 2022 January-June catalog by Stampin' Up!  It has splashes of color along with gold highlights.  See it here.  

If you want to make one of these you'll need card bases, DSP or stamps & ink and a greeting or die-cut like I used here. 

  • card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
  • Colored layer 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP or stamped layer 3 3/4" X 5" (for a wider split use 3 1/2" X 4 3/4") 

The Amazing Thanks dies have quickly become a favorite of mine.  See those here. 

The next example uses the Flowing Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight.  I stamped the images before I cut them in 4 pieces. 

You might wonder – 'how do you cut these into 4 angled pieces?'  Honestly I cut from the top to the bottom first, just estimating my angled cut. Then I held the two pieces back together and cut from the bottom left to the right side. 

It does not have to be perfect!  Honestly; just wing it; I dare you to do this without measuring.

  • Ornate Garden; simply done


    Today I have another card featuring the new Ornate Garden products; the new early release from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog.  You can see all of it here. 

    For this card I chose to use the Ornate Border dies for the pretty edge. The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks set and the embossed daisy is from the Ornate Style stamp set.

    You might see a little halo around the right daisy…. I first stamped it in Terracotta Tile, but it didn't show up well enough.  So I tried to stamp again to heat emboss it in White.  I was off a bit but I'm okay with it anyway. The stitched oval is a die from the Stitched Shapes dies.  

    I made a bunch of these for a swap last month; it's a pretty easy card with just a few special 'extras'.

  • Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live


    Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic.  I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years!  We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

    I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.  


    We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products!  You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

    If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead.  It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards. 

    Here are the supplies and measurements so you're ready to stamp with me:

    Measurements:

    • Card bases; one White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", two of Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" X 11" 
    • Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one  on the diagonal in half.  For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left. 
    • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set

    Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories) 

    • Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
    • Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
    • one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2") 
    • a 1 1/2" White circle and a Petal Pink Pretty Label punched piece. (You can easily substitute any shapes here) 
    • Champagne rhinestones 
    • Petal Pink ribbon
    • Sponge dauber for Petal Pink ink 
    • Mini glue dots
    • Dimensionals
