Today I’m sharing a fun stack cut and shuffle technique. A card design created with 3 pieces of 6×6 patterned paper and no waste! Grab your patterned paper and come join me!
Measurements:
- Crumb Cake: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ (x3)
- Pebbled Path: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ (x3)
- Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (x3) and scraps for die cutting
- One Horse Open Sleigh DSP: 6×6 – three patterns in various scales
- Vellum: scraps for die cutting
All three of the cards have the same base and layers. I simply switched up the focal points to make them a bit different.
To see how to cut the dsp so that there’s no waste, check out the video below.
Here are a few other alternates. These ones using the Hello Irresistible DSP.
For these two sets of cards I used the Layering Leaves stamp set and Nested Essentials dies.
If you give this technique a try, I’d love to see what your cards look like!
Until next time,

Although I commented on your video about this cutting technique I just wanted to say once again “Well Done!” This is an excellent technique for beginners and avid stampers alike. I love the different looks you get from the stack. Thanks for your inspiration.
Thank you so much Penny. I’m glad you enjoyed it:)

Beautiful, thank you for sharing
Stunning cards thank you so much for sharing, just wondering what envelopes you used as standard stampinup envelopes are too wide for the 6×6 papers I have found?

Hi Fran, all the dsp is cut down to fit the cards I make so it doesn’t stay 6×6:)
I am looking for your video on you tube for the country treehouse cards. Can you send me the link. Thank you

Hi Joan,
Thanks for your comment. I don’t have a video for Country Birdhouse cards. I do have a video for a box using that collection, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/live/1gWCCh3FYq0?si=M7Saj2q44Qylk4qn. And I have a tutorial for cards that I did as a class that’s available here: https://stampedtreasures.com/product/country-birdhouse-tutorial/. I hope this helps!
