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.

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

• New Hot Foiling System is here!!

  July 10, 2026

  ---

  Stampin’ Up! has a brand new product on the market. It’s called the Stampin’ Hot Foiling system.
  If you like shine & glitz this is for you!

  Save

  The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially-made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.)

  Save

  As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

  Here’s a link to these brand new products!

  Here’s a brochure that shows all of the products available in this system.

  Here’s a video sharing how this system works and the products involved in creating these gorgeous foil images.

• Gatefold Velvet Meadow arches card

  July 9, 2026

  ---

  Here’s another neat card sample featuring the Velvet Meadow suite:

  Save

  Gatefold cards are a great way to use your pretty designer series paper. Each side measures 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″. I stamped the pretty flowers from the Flowering Meadow bundle seen here on the White arch die-cut; then layered it on the next size larger Peaceful Pine arch die-cut.

  The Arches dies are out of stock currently but will be back.

  Save

  I stamped the flowers in Bubble Bath, Berry Burst and Peaceful Pine ink. The greeting is stamped on a strip of White that is layered on the Velvet specialty paper in Bubble Bath color. A pretty but easy card.

  Here’s what the open view looks like:

  The color combinations Stampin’ Up! comes up with in their designer paper continues to amaze me. They make it so easy to make beautiful, coordinating projects. Our color families and the matching products is what drew me to Stampin’ Up! over 21 years ago and is still one of my favorite things about them.
