Choose your Designer Series Paper first and then pick a coordinating cardstock for the base. Choose one color from the DSP to peek out of the corner. I used gold foil.
Instead of gluing the pretty paper right to the front of the card, turn down the corner of the double-sided paper to reveal not only the other side of the paper, but a special cut out is so stunning! Try this with any double-sided paper!
The Perennial Postage die set creates those interesting cut out pieces. You can cut out the rectangular pieces with the measurements provided if you don’t have the die set.
