Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper

On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards!  Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.  

If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here. 

Save

I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards.  This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side. 

Save

Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards:  Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.  

Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front.  You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly!  Embellish as you'd like.  

Save

Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.  

• 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
• the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with

Save

Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper.  Choose patterns that coordinate in color.  I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!  

Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.  

Save

The Flowers of Home dies (seen here) are delicate with many leaves & flower options.

Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT to see how easy it is to make 4 quick cards with the Stack & Cut technique.

• Unique Double Triangle fun fold with free project sheet & video

  March 11, 2026

  ---

  Today I’m sharing a super neat fun fold card from last week’s video. I featured brand new products from our Online store. The suite is called Delicate Dreams and it’s beautiful! See it here.

  Save

  I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

  Save

  Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

  Save

  It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

  This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

  Save

  I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

  That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

  Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

  Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

• A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!

  March 10, 2026

  ---

  Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

  Save

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

  The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

  The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

  Here’s how you do it.

  Save

  You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

  Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

  Save

  And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

  Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!
