The Most Amazing Card Layout Ever

 This layout is so easy to make and so very versatile! You could make scads of cards with this layout, different DSP and stamps, and they'd look so different! Look at the three samples below, the two on the left have angled cuts made from DSP, while the one on the right has angle cuts made from embossed card stock. Then look at the centers of the card fronts, embossed cardstock on the left, diecut in the center, and DSP on the right. 

Bundles Left to right: Nature's Prints, True Beauty, Cup of Tea 

All measurements in inches

  1. Card Base: cut 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 score at 4-1/4

  2. Cardstock Layer: 5-1/4 x 4

  3. DSP or embossed cardstock 5 x 2-1/2, place on the trimmer on the short side. Place one corner of the paper on the 1” mark and the other corner on the 1-1/2” mark and cut.

  1. Place Dimensionals on the paper used in step one so that the angles are popped up. Apply to layering piece making sure to put the opposites across from each other (skinny to fat).

5.     A 5 x 2-1/4 layering piece to go behind the angle cuts. This should be either DSP or cardstock, the opposite of the paper used for the angle cuts.

6.     The building of the card is: card base, 5-1/1 x 4 layer, then the 5 x 3-3/4 layer, and finally the two angle cuts on Dimensionals.

7.     For embellishment, you can stamp a greeting, place die cuts, or ribbon etc.
