  Basic Card Tutorial 2 ~  Last post we covered a basic format for a quick 5 minute card! Pictured below is one of the versions created in the tutorial.  Awesome design. I hope you tried it. If you missed it you can click here to go back and give it a try.  So, in this post I want to show you that using the same basic card measurements, you can create a different card layout just by changing or cutting the same pieces used in the first card layout. Here we go!!  Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, Scored at 4 1/4  Cut 2 1/8 inch off of the front side of the card base.  Cut your DSP layer at 4 x 5 1/4 Then cut that layer in the middle at 2 inches. You now have 2 pieces of 2 x 5 1/4 Dsp layers. White cardstock: 4 x 5 1/4  Attach one piece of the DSP to the right edge of the white cardstock layer ( card inside ) as pictured. Leaving the other half exposed for writing on the greeting card. Adhere the inside panel to the inside of the card. Attach the 2nd piece...

Make a DIY Card in Less Than 5 minutes ~ Every stamper should have a "go to" card, one that is so easy to make you can whip it up on a moments notice! Does that ever happen to you? You're almost ready to go out the door and then "oh dang, I need a card".  This is the card that will enable you to just throw one together and still be on time!  Here is a quick tutorial for the card:  Cardstock: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Scored @ 4 1/4  DSP: 4 1/2 x 3 1/4  (or rectangle die cut.  I used a rectangle from Color & Contour dies ) 1 Focal Point, stamped, cut & colored ( I chose a flower from Color & Contour stamp set ) White Scrap: to stamp sentiment ( or die cut sentiment such as the one I used )  White Cardstock: 4 x 5 1/4 ( inside panel ) Dimensionals or glue Bling! I used a texture stamp ( splotches ) to add a little color to the inside panel and then attached the inside panel to the inside of the card, as pictured below.  Attach the DSP to the front o...

  Cube Card Technique ~ Very Fun Fold I definitely need a better picture of this adorable card, and I will post one as soon as I take a better picture.  Below are the instructions for this fun cube card technique!  Let me know if you try it!  1. Cut a piece of thick cardstock to 8" x 8 1/4". 2. Place the 8 1/4" at the top of score board and score at 2", 4", 6", and 8". 3. Now turn your cardstock so that the 8" side is at the top and cut at 2" and move it over and at 2" again. You should now have 2 pieces that are 2" x 8 1/4" and 1 piece that is 4" x 8 1/4".  4. You can now add DSP to the areas you want. The cube sides would be 1 15/16" x 1 15/16" (that is the little mark on your ruler, just before the 2" mark ). The larger piece of DSP would be 1 15/16" x 3 15/16". (You can also add your DSP after the cube card is put together. Whatever works best for you). 5. You can see in my pict...

Isn't this card just awesomely rustic!  I absolutely love it!  Who would you send this card to during the Christmas season? This card features the Peaceful Cabin Bundle ( stamp & die set ). It was created using a the typical joy fold technique.  I believe there is already a tutorial on this blog for the joy fold. I will check, and if there isn't I will add one. So that you create this awesome card to.  Download the Rustic Christmas Card PDF Tutorial  Thanks for having a peek! 😏 The Paper Artist
