Corner-Twist Card

 Today, I am sharing a unique fun fold. I don't know if there is a particular name for it, so I created one. My friend Robyn Rasset shared this with a group of us, and I thought it would be fun to share it with you! The name makes it sound more challenging than it is. It is very easy to do. You can watch how it is done and follow the instructions in this post.

First, you will need an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of cardstock.  Inserting your cardstock vertically into your trimmer, you will cut this piece in half at 4 1/4".  This will give you two pieces to make two cards.

Next, you will place your piece of 11" X 4 1/4" horizontally into your trimmer and score at     4 1/4' and 5 1/2".

Choose a sheet of Designer Series Paper (6" X 6" is easiest to work with). You can use any  DSP you would like; however, if you choose a sheet with scenery, you won't have to do much more than the card itself.  If you choose something that is not scenery, you will want to add images, etc. to the card.

Here's all you will need for this card:

PAPER

• Fresh Freesia 8 1/2" X 11"
• Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper 6" X 6"
• Basic White (optional) 4" square

STAMPS

• Unbounded Love

INK

• Tuxedo Black Memento

ADHESIVE

• Stampin' Seal
• Stampin' Dimensionals

EMBELLISHEMENTS

TOOLS

• Bone Folder
• Take You Pick
• Punch of choice
• Paper Trimmer

Thanks for joining me today!  Happy Stamping!

Fast and Easy One Sheet Wonder

 I've done One Sheet Wonders before, but they were very detailed, drawing lines on a sheet of cardstock to show where each piece would be stamped and cut.  It took a lot of time. 

Anne Hellman, another demonstrator, shared this on her site, and I loved the idea. This one is much simpler and easier to follow.  All you need is an 8-1/2" X 11" sheet of Basic White Cardstock.

You can either make these cuts ahead of time and then stamp on each piece, or you can stamp on the entire sheet and then make the cuts, it's totally up to you.  Here are the directions for each cut.  Check out the video to understand the details.

          Click on photos to enlarge

Place your sheet of cardstock vertically on your trimmer or cutting board.  Make the following cuts:

• 3-1/2"
• 3" 
• 2" piece will be left over

Place each piece you had previously cut horizontally on your trimmer or cutting board.  Make the following cuts:

With the 3-1/2" piece cut...

• 4-3/4"
• 5-1/2"
• 3/4" will be left over

With the 3" piece cut...

• 5-1/2"

Flip the next section vertically and cut...

• 2"
• 1" will be left over

With the original 2" piece cut...

• 5"
• (3)-2" squares

All your pieces will create 6 cards.   Place a ribbon or embellishments on each card to complete them.  Enjoy, and happy stamping!
