Faux Shutter With Designer Paper

Today I’m sharing a cool layout for a greeting card. It’s called Faux Shutter, Iris Fold, or Quilt. It’s an excellent way to pierce the paper and make a beautiful centerpiece. I used different designer papers for this project, but I especially liked the Pretty Prints I used. The colors look great together! I have more ideas and a video to share too.

Replay Of The Live Broadcast of The Faux Shutter With Designer Paper

The video was recorded live during my weekly Create On the Fly. I share how I created the Faux Shutter.

Faux Shutter With Pretty Prints

This is my favorite of all the Faux Shutter cards I created. As mentioned, the more color variation, the better the shutter style.

Measurement

Very Vanilla card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 score at 4-1/4, 1-½ x 1-½ for the center greeting
Blackberry Bliss square layer 3-½ x 3-½
Calypso Coral top square 3-¼ x 3-¼ die cut or punch our 2-½ circle in the center. A great tip in the video is to find the center.
Pretty Prints; 4 of 3 x ½, different prints 4 of 3 x ½, and another print 4 of 3 x 1; this is for the Shutter portion.
For the front of the card, 2 x 4-¼ and 4 x ¾, inside 4 x 1 and 4 x ½.

Designer Papwe Hues Of Happiness

The designer paper is Hues Of Happiness, and the color card stock is Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

Perfectly Penciled

Both of these cards are Perfectly Penciled for the designer paper. For the one on the left, I sponge some Polished Pink on some designer prints.

Inspired by S Penner

This is the card that I was inspired to create, the Faux Shutter. Who is S Penner? I have no clue, but I bet it is another demo I swap with at one of the Stampin’Up! Events. It is said I don’t remember 🙁 I have a little bix that I put cards in that I want to create, and trust me, some of them are OLD, but I am on a mission to empty that box. Thank you, S. Penner, for inspiring me.
