You could make 6 cards from one sheet of patterned paper using this cardmaking idea. That is, if you did like we did – we used one piece that we cut into strips and then flipped the ends.

The two outside pieces are 1-1/4″ x 3-3/4″. The one in the middle is 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″. They’re flipped sides of same piece of patterned paper that started out at 4-3/4″ wide by 3-3/4″ tall.

The card base is a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of the new Crisp Cantaloupe folded in half to 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ tall. the layer in between the card base and the patterned paper is 5-1/4″ by 4″. It’s Calypso Coral.

What I Like About Card Making

There are several things that I like about card making and Ann agrees with me.

  • You can take this layout and make very different cards with it.
  • You can make cards in the favorite colors of the recipient.
  • Turn a birthday card into a get well card just by changing the greeting.
  • We’ve met so many nice people making cards!

There are many, many more reasons, but here’s one that has to do with today’s project. You don’t have to match the theme of the stamp set or papers to the card. We used the Cutest Crew stamp set which is all about pets! Like cats and dogs!

There are no cats and dogs on this card!

The coordinating dies have been so popular that they’re sold out and should be back in stock the week of May 18th. But it could be back in stock sooner. You can check on the availability of the Cutest Crew Bundle here. If you’re interested, you can click to have them send you an email when it comes back in stock.

That’s how we got ours! They sent us an email and luckily we bought ours before they sold out again.
