Carole's Double Wonder Cards

Hello Everyone! I have something that I'm sure you will like!! You've heard of One Sheet Wonders right? Well this is an easier take on that. Instead of using one 12 x 12 sheet of designer series paper, you use TWO SHEETS OF 12 X 6 inch pieces of DSP. I have directions and a diagram on how to cut them up to make 13 cards!! And get this, it doesn't matter what stamp sets or paper you use. Thank goodness Stampin' Up! DSP is printed on both sides because that makes it even more fun:)

Since you will be stamping directly on the card base, use Whisper White or a very light color for your card bases. If you'd like a bit of dimension to your cards, any of the matted layers can be adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For my samples, I used the Peaceful Poppies DSP, and Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments stamp sets. This is an easy way to make a bunch of cards more quickly. Since they all coordinate, they'd make a lovely collection for a gift. You can make a card set box, folder or simply tie a pretty bow around them.  For the FREE PDF copy of the directions Click Here. If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I'd love to be your Demo. For handy shopping just click the online shopping button on the sidebar.

Cut two sheets of coordinating, but not the same, DSP in half. Stack them on top of one another and line up the edges. Place the papers in your trimmer with the long side across the top. Follow the numbered diretions below.
