Have you ever had a piece of double-sided paper that you loved both sides so much that you just couldn’t decide which side to use?
Sometimes it’s PAINFUL to put tape one side of a pretty paper only to hide it between your card layers.
Using double-sided paper on a card CAN be done in a way that shows off both sides.
Watch this quick video to see how easy it is…
PAPER SIZES:
Double-sided paper: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (leaves a border) OR 4″ x 5-1/2″ (for a full card front)
Make a regular card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and then cut 3-1/4″ off the front so there’s just one inch left.
Be sure to watch the video above for tips on assembling your card.
Now go grab a piece of your double-sided paper that you love both sides of and make a card!
Happy Stamping!

Very nice idea! I think I will be using that frequently! Thanks for sharing.
You are so creative and inspiring, Jessica!
Love this! Kylie Bertucci, an Australian demo, has introduced a #loveitchopit promotion to encourage people to use, not hoard, their DSP. This card making idea would be perfect for her concept.
Love how you’ve made this. I’m always wanting new ideas so thank you very much for sharing

Do you have any “how to” for card lettering? I like to add my own messages to the cards I make but struggle with lettering.
Thanks
