Hello and welcome to today’s cards, which are another “one sheet wonder” from a 12” x 12” Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper! If you’ve been following along, the previous two posts feature cards made from layouts on Pinterest, but today I made my own layout. I tried looking for something that had a combination of vertical and horizontal cuts, along with not very many little cuts, but didn’t find one that I liked, so I figured I would give it a try! It really wasn’t that difficult and I was able to make 8 cards out it!
Below is a picture of the sheet of DSP that I used and the template that I made. Wondering what the template is? Would you believe that it is the cardboard that is from the Foil Sheets?! These are slightly bigger than 12” x 12”, so I mark the cardboard when making the measurements. This can also be cut down to make smaller templates!
Here is a close-up of each card, inside and out, with a brief description:
The card base is an Angle Fold Over card in Gray Granite
The base layer is Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, cut at 4” x 5 ¼”, and cut again diagonally
The DSP is 4” x 5 ¼”, which I trimmed down to 3 ¾” x 5”, and cut again diagonally to layer on the base layer
The front sentiment is made using the Make a Difference stamp set, on Whisper White cardstock, using Lovely Lipstick ink. These are then cut out with the 1” and 1 ½” Circle Punches and layered on Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Black, and Gray Granite cardstock cut out using the 1 ¼” and 1 ¾” Circle Punches
