Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet


On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper. 

I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart.  Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat! 

**This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow. 

The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.

Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia. 

Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base.  The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.

Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download Thoughtful Journey Window card

The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project.  I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:

I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.

If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here.  I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.

Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here. 

Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I'll share the second card Wednesday.
