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.

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.

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

• Window cards!

  July 7, 2020

  ---

  A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards.  I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below.  Here's one version:

  I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper!  For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

  Here are all three cards I made to get them started.  I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies.  Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas.  Check it out here. 

  Save

  For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.  

  I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.
