Hello everyone it's tuesday again and time for another make........
Today I've made 3 cards using a OSW and the 3rd card was using just the piece that was leftover, which makes me very happy....... No waste Yayyyyy.
Now there are many different ways to cut your sheet of dsp to get many cards from just the one sheet. I chose to use the sheet which is cut the way that a lovely demonstrator called Julie Davison cuts hers, it's a really lovely technique to use if you need to get alot of cards made quickly.
So let's begin.............
Materials needed:
Whisper white thick cardstock
2pc - 4 1/8" x 11 1/4" scored on the longside at 5 5/8" these are your card bases
2 scrap pieces to punch out your 2" circle for your sentiment
1 pc - 3" x 6" scored on the longside at 3" this is for the small card base
Mistymoonlight and Jade cardstock
Both colours cut the same
1pc - 4" x 5 1/2" embossed for the front of your 2 card bases
1pc - 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" for the front of card
1 scrap piece to die cut a scallop circle from for your sentiment
Scrap pieces to punch out the sprigs
1pc - (misty moonlight only) 1/4" x 3" for the front of small card
Flowers for every season dsp
1pc - 6" x 6" to be cut
Card recipe:
1. Cut an A4 piece of cardstock along the long side of your card at 11 1/4 and then score this into half a t 5 5/8". Now cut your scored piece of card into half along the scored edge at 4 1/8" so this will now leave you with 2 card bases both measuring 4 1/8" x 5 5/8".
2. Cut and emboss your 2 pieces of cardstock (both colours) for the front of your cards and glue into place.
3. Cut the square pieces of card for the fronts of your cards.
4. Punch out your sprigs - 2 of each colour.
5. Punch the white circles out ( I like to use the punch as you get a bigger border of coloured cardstock showing), and then using the scallop die that is just bigger than your punched circle die cut one of each of the colours out. Stamp your sentiments onto both of the white circles, using one of each colour and then glue these to the scallop circles flat.
6. Cut your dsp as follows - cut the 6" x 6" into half then cut one of these pieces into half this will leave you with 2 - 3" x 3" which you glue flat to either piece of the coloured cardstock squares (use both sides of the dsp for the 2 different patterns).
The dsp that is leftover can now be cut on the longside at 5 1/2" and then turn this piece around and cut it to 1 1/2" this gives you 2 - 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" pieces which can be glued flat to the front of your card bases - one centrally for the landscape card and the other slightly to the left for the portrait card.
The small piece of dsp that is leftover - 1/2" x 3" is now cut carefully in half so you end up with 2 pieces that measure 1/4" x 3", these along with the small piece of misty moonlight cardstock are now glued flat to the front of your small card.
7. On my lanscape card (Just thinking of you) I glued my square layer piece onto the front flat, at an angle, glued the sprigs into place and then attached the circle sentiment piece on with dimensionals.
On my portrait card (Get well soon) I glued the square layer onto the front, at an angle, using dimensionals and then glued the sprigs and the circle on flat.
8. Place 3 each of your enamel dots onto each card.
9. Using Misty moonlight ink, I stamped my sentiment straight onto my small card.
Thats all 3 of your cards finished and no waste yayyyyy.........
