Make a stack of cards quickly

Inspiration for your card making!

Quick and easy Holiday card idea!

I showed this project in a series of Facebook posts as a teaser last week.

Here are the instructions and details pulled together in one spot for you!

Project Basics:

Cardbases: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" choose cardstock that coordinates with your paper, fold in half for a portrait style card (left hinge as shown).

Accent panels: 4" x 5 1/4" cardstock to compliment

Paper pieces: Choose three patterns that coordinate, cut each piece to 3" x 5".  Suggested paper: Take a Bow. Keep extra paper strips from 6" x 6" paper to use to decorate the inside panel.

Greeting tag: Neutral cardstock die cut or punched with your favorite tag and paper sized per accent required.

Accent strip in lieu of ribbon: coordinating cardstock 4" x 1/2"

Inside piece: 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White, if using dark cardbase.

Embellishments: Your favorite bling

Prep papers:

  • Cut each piece of patterned paper into three 1" x 5" strips. You will mix one pattern per card.

Project Instructions:

  • Center and attach the mixed three pieces of paper onto the accent background piece.
  • Decide if you are going to wrap ribbon around the accent piece, if so attach the ribbon first. If not, then proceed to the next step.
  • Center and attach the combined pieces to the card front.
  • Stamp a greeting on the neutral cardstock and die cut or punch to create a greeting tag.
  • Attach greeting tag using Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Attach gems or your favorite bling to the card front as desired.
  • Stamp a greeting on the 4” x 5 1/4” Basic White cardstock and decorate with the paper 4” x 1” patterned paper as desired. Center and attach inside the card.

Here are the basic tools you'll need to have on hand:

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Paper Trimmer

Stampin' Seal or Multi-purpose Liquid Glue (Green glue)

Mini Glue Dots

Stampin' Dimensionals
