Video To Share Some Easy Card Layout With Designer Paper
This video is longer than most of my videos, but I wanted to share a selection of layouts. So, instead of sharing a once-by-one design, it is all in one video. All layouts are basic and perfect for creating all occasions greeting cards with designer paper.
UPDATE 8 am MDT: The last 4 minutes of the video I lost sound SORRY
One Piece Of Designer Paper Layout
This section of cards is the most simple one that I share today. Of course, the top layer is designer paper with some elements, but we don’t need many elements when creating excellent designer paper.
Most of the cards are the exact measurement. I will list the measurement but more that some could vary by ⅛ of an inch, but overall the measurements are the same.
Measurements
- Card Base 8 ½ x 8 ½ score at 4 ¼ or 11 x 4 ¼ score at 5 ½
- Cardstock layer 4 ⅛ x 5 ⅜
- Designer paper top layer 4 x 5 ¼
- The banner under the frame from Natural Print Dies 4 x ½ could be broader or skinnier.
The frames for the greeting are all frame die from Natural Prints. The card below the frame is folder ¼ in the back.
I bet many of you will agree that when we have beautiful prints like these, we don’t need to do much to get the wow effect.
This card above I stamped on the Sun Prints designer paper.
One Layer Split Reverse
The following selections of cards are the exact measurements then the card but cut at about 1 ½ or 2 inches and flip a section to get the two prints.
The top cards are with the Sun Prints and below with the Boughs Of Holly. The landscape or portrait layout works perfectly for the split flip of the designer paper just, depending on the pattern of the paper.
Mixing Two Print For Split Flip Layout
These two cards use two different prints of 5 ¼ x 4 cuts at 2″ and then mix the two papers. See the green strips on with the poinsettia, which is the holly print’s portion.
Strips Layout
The strip layout also can be in the landscape or portrait style.
Measurements
- Card Base 8 ½ x 8 ½ score at 4 ¼ or 11 x 4 ¼ score at 5 ½
- Cardstock first layer 4 x 5 ¼
- Cardstock first layer 3 ¾ x 5
- Designer paper top layer strip of 1 ½ x 4 ⅞ and 2 x 4 ⅞
The banner for the greeting is part of the Label Me Lovely Punch. I share how to create this in the video.
The card with the Sun Prints and the little branch element are part of the Natural Prints dies.
This card at the top is a strip of Sun Srint Designer paper left from another project, but it is an excellent layout for a used scrap. I stamped on the middle layer.
3 x 5 ¼ Diagonal Layer
The diagonal layout is simple but with that extra wow factor. All is explained in the video.
Measurements
- Card Base 8 ½ x 8 ½ score at 4 ¼
- Designer paper 3 x 5 ¼
- A strip of card stock 2 of 6 x ½
Left Over Scrap
So often, when creating with designer paper or cardstock, we have some odds size leftover paper after finishing a project. My best advice is to place a piece of about 4 ⅛ x 5 ⅜ card stock and lay out the scrap on the cardstock until you get a pattern you like. It is no wrong way to create with scrap paper. Check these two cards.
The top card is three strips of 4 x 1 ½. I have ½ inch gap between the first strip and the second it gives me an excellent section to add the frame for the greeting and some bling. It doesn’t have to be equal between each section. When it is ununiform, I say it adds some character.
The card below is two pieces of 2 x 2 ¼ and one at 1 ½ x 2 ¼.
Wow, there are lots of samples to create with designer paper. Did I inspire you to cut that beautiful paper?
