Do you have any double-sided papers that both sides look good together?
Here’s how you can use them to make quick & easy cards!
This is basically a one sheet wonder idea because you can make 6 cards out of ONE sheet of 12×12 double-sided patterned paper!
Cut your 12×12 paper into three 4″ strips.
Then cut each 4″x12″ strip into two 5-1/4″ long pieces and two 3/4″ pieces.
Flip a 3/4″ piece over and tape it to a 5-1/4″ piece, then tape to your card front and add a greeting. That’s it!
Whisper White card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
Background Designer Paper: 4″ x 5-1/4″
Purple Designer Paper: 3/4″ x 4″
The friend greeting is from the Heartfelt stamp set… it’s for more than just Valentine cards!
I used a die to cut out my greeting, but you could also use a punch in a fun label shape too.
Grab a piece of double-sided paper and make a quick card or two like these.
Happy Stamping!
Jessica

Hi Nancy,
I have a video with tips for using the Stampin’ Blends markers here: https://www.inkitupwithjessica.com/valentine-cards-with-stampin-blends-tips/ Hope that helps!
I’m confused about this card. How do I attach to cardstock
So both sides of paper are showing. And what do I do with that 3/4 inch strip
Hi Linda, For this card you are taping the larger piece of patterned paper to your card front. Then flip the 3/4″ strip over and tape that on top. That way you’re using the patterns on both sides of the paper.
If you want to show off more of both sides, you might want to try this card: https://www.inkitupwithjessica.com/show-both-sides/
Thanks for asking!
I look forward to joining your group and learning more about making my own cards. I am a facilitator with the Grief Share Program at my church and I love sending notes of encouragement to the participants. These are people that have lost someone, husband, wife, etc., recently and they need love, hugs and lots of encouragement. I want to send cards that I make and that way I can make them special.
Congratulations on 21 years of sharing your beautiful talent with so many others.
Hi Patricia, Glad to have you here! Sending handmade cards with notes of encouragement is a wonderful ministry to others and that is definitely a special thing.
