2 Fun Ways to Use Patterned Paper on Cards

In today’s post I’m sharing 2 fun ways to use patterned paper on cards. Along with some tips on how you can get the most out of one sheet of dsp when creating these cards.

These card designs, combined with the tips are great for making multiples. You’ll want to pin this post and come back when you’re ready to make your holiday cards!

Check out the video shared below for tips on cutting your patterned paper in order to get 6 of these cards from one sheet of patterned paper.

Measurements:

• Pretty Peacock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ ; 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ cut with the 3rd largest deckled rectangle; scrap for die cutting the banner
• Delightfully Eclectic DSP: 4″ x 5-1/4″ and 3/4″ x 4″
• Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside) and 1-1/2″ x 4″ for die cutting the banner and scraps for stamping
• Pretty Peacock Soft Shimmer: 2″ x 2″ for punched leaf
• White Twine: 6″
• Pretty Peacock Sequins: x3

This was the inspiration for the card – it was a swap I received from Jennifer Hill using products from the Fresh as a Daisy suite. Thanks Jennifer for the inspiration!

I loved this design so much that I used it with this months Paper Pumpkin kit as well.

For the second card, I’m sharing an envelope flap fun fold card. This is another great design for making multiples because you can get 9 cards from one sheet of patterned paper!

Measurements:

• Night of Navy: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
• Basic White: 5-1/4″ x 8″ scored at 4″ and scrap for stamping
• Delightfully Eclectic DSP: 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ and 3/4″ x 3-3/4″

• White Twine: 6″

And all the way open.

I also created one created using products from the Bright & Beautiful Suite.

I will definitely be coming back to this idea with some Christmas products!

Until next time,
