Make Two Different Cards At The Same Time

Today, I am going to show you how to make two cards at the same time. So often, I find myself cutting a piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Once, I cut what I need, I put it back in the folder. But not today! Today, I am going to show you two cards and one with my “go to layout” that fits just, about, any card! For both cards, I am using Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Print Stamp set, Natural Prints dies and Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. My color scheme came from the Designer Series Paper: Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Soft Seafoam and Basic White.

Nature’s Prints: You’re On My Mind

For my the first card, I embossed Basic White using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. This added texture and dimension to the card. Next, I layered 2″ x 5 1/4″ strip of the Designer Paper on 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Pretty Peacock. All of the images and sentiments were stamped using Pretty Peacock then die cut. To finish off the outside of my card, I added a Linen Thread bow and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

For my second card, I decided to carry through with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. But this time, I embossed the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. The end result was stunning with the color variation of the paper! I layered the embossed DSP on Lost Lagoon before adhering it to the card front. Here, I used two of the same branches for my stamped images. After popping the images up with Dimensionals, I added a small bow using Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon. In the video, I used Linen Thread.

On the inside of both cards, I stamped the larger image twice without re-inking in the lower right corner of a Basic White layer. I, then did the same with the front of the envelope. The end result: a beautiful piece of stationary!

The video below provides the instructions for making, both, cards as well as, some tips for using your embossing folder. Further down in the post, you will, also, find the supplies, measurements and instructions with a downloadable PDF. Leave me a comment, I would love to know which card is your favorite!
