3 Cards Using Card Layout Die Cuts + Video with Jen

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 Layout 6 Die

Corner Flip Die Set

Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set

Springtime Bunnies Die Set

Happy Easter Paper Pack

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. 

I used our Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set for the cute bunny image and also for the sentiment.

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:

1. Cut outer frame and inner diamond piece using the Card Layout 6 Die 
2. Cut out 4 pieces patterned paper using the Happy Easter Paper Pack using the Corner Flip Die Set.
3. Fold the die cut pieces on their score lines and assemble everything together
4. 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:

1. Choose 1 of the two dies from the Corner Flip Die Set.
2. 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.
3. 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. 
4. 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!
