Trio of Easter Cards using new Dies
Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing three Easter cards that I created featuring our brand new dies.
For these cards I used the following products:
Card 1: Card Layout 6
My first card focuses on the Card Layout 6 Die.
For this card I used the Card Layout 6 Die 4 times. First ,I cut it from white cardstock and used just the frame. Next, I cut it from two pieces of patterned paper (carrots and basketweave) from the Happy Easter Paper Pack. Last, I cut it from light green cardstock for the center spot. On the last cut I used a piece of cardstock that was 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and placed it just over the center since I didn't need the frame or side panels.
Card 2: Card Layout 6 + Corner Flip Die
For my next card I added in the Corner Flip Die Set.
On this card I used the Card Layout 6 Die again, but this time I only cut it out twice. I cut it once from yellow cardstock and once from white. The yellow will be the frame and the white is for the center piece.
Next, I used the Corner Flip Die Set to cut out the side panels. This die has two pieces and each piece includes a score line angled in one of the corners. I cut out both pieces twice, using a piece of patterned paper from the Happy Easter Paper Pack. Since the pattern on this card doesn't have a specific direction, I could place the dies anywhere on the paper.
After the pieces were cut I folded them on the score lines. This flips the paper to one side and each piece will now fit into one of the openings on the sides of the frame.
I used our Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set for the bunny images and also for the sentiment.
Card 2: Card Layout 6 + Corner Flip Die (2 paper patterns)
For my last card I used two different patterned papers.
The steps to this card are the same as before:
- Cut outer frame and inner diamond piece using the Card Layout 6 Die
- Cut out 4 pieces patterned paper using the Happy Easter Paper Pack using the Corner Flip Die Set.
- Fold the die cut pieces on their score lines and assemble everything together
- Add on the sentiment and bunny using the Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set
But here's where it's different.
At step 2, I chose two different papers and one of the papers that I chose (the pink bunnies) is a vertical print. So you need to cut it like this:
At step 2, I chose two different papers and one of the papers that I chose (the pink bunnies) is a vertical print. So you need to cut it like this:
- Choose 1 of the two dies from the Corner Flip Die Set.
- Place your paper with the pattern vertical and place the die vertically over the top. When you die cut, the angled line should be face down on the bottom.
- Cut the same paper again with the pattern vertically and the die vertically but rotate the die 180 degrees so that the angled score line is at the top.
- Repeat steps 2-3 with the second die piece from the Corner Flip Die Set
Again, I finished the card by usingour Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set for the bunny and the sentiment.
It might seem like a lot to remember but once you give it a try it should make sense and is easy to do again. I've also created a video that you can watch to see the creation of these cards in more detail.
I hope you enjoyed these projects today and are inspired to give these new die sets a try. It's so much fun to use BOTH sides of our patterned papers! I can't wait to try it with other paper packs!
