Stack, Cut & Shuffle

This technique allows you to make three cards at one time.  You will need three sheets of a Designer Series Paper. The papers must be cut at 5-1/4" X 4".  You stack them together, make two cuts, and shuffle them in three different layouts to make your cards. You will cut all three sheets at the same time. 

The cuts should be:

1.  Top, left-hand corner to the middle of the right side of the pile. Lay the first set off to the side.

2.  The second set will be cut by placing the lower left-hand corner at the bottom and cutting from the top center to the corner.

3.  Lay out all the pieces by placing each pile into three layouts, so each card will hold one of each cut piece.

Then you will put your cards together!  Visit the video to see it all in action.  



Here's what you will need:

PAPER

  • Base cards: 5-2/4" X 4" (Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Garden Green)
  • **3 Sheets of Designer Series Paper cut at 5-1/4" X 4" (Autumn Expressions 6"X 6" Designer Series Paper)
