Variations
Mix and match different coordinating cardstock and different sides of Designer Series Paper to create a ton of different options!
Let's Get Started!
After you cut all of the colored cardstock. Cut your Designer Series Paper to 5″ x 3 3/4″. Then cut 1 1/2″ off the end of that same piece.
Now for the magic of the double-sided Designer Series Paper…just cut & flip! The colors will be perfectly coordinated with not only that piece of paper, but all of the others in that set.
Adhere these two pieces to the colored cardstock of your choice.
Tip: When lining up on your cardstock, if you allowed too much space at the top edge, just overlap the strip of DSP to create the same margin on the other side.
Decorate the Inside of the Card
Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the colored cardstock to create a subtle frame. Stamp a sentient of your choice to finish out the card.
