This Facebook Live was recorded Tuesday, April 13, 2021 and has very little editing.

For this Facebook Live, I demonstrated how to create your own designer series paper by stamping an entire piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″  cardstock and turn it into SEVEN card fronts!

For these cards I used Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green ink to stamp a piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ Basic White Cardstock. I cut it using the diagram below to create SEVEN card fronts. 

For the first two cards shown above, these were cut at 3 3/4″ x 5″ and layered onto Basic Black cardstock before going onto card bases of Melon Mambo and Highland Heather. The card just above was created by using the two pieces of the cardstock that was cut at 2″ x 2″ then glued onto of two squares of Basic Black cut at 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″. The Basic White card front was embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I cut flowers and leaves using dies from the Pretty Perennial Bundle.

For this card, I took the 1″ x 3 3/4″ strips I cut and layered them onto a piece of Melon Mambo Cardstock that had been embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I used die cut flowers and punched sprigs for this card. Love these beautiful and happy colors!

For this card I embossed a piece of Highland Heather using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder then added the 3/4″ x 5″ strip of stamped paper. I layered it onto a piece of Melon Mambo before glueing it to a Thick Basic White Card base. Love these colors and this design so much!

For these last two cards, I layered them onto Basic Black before layering onto Granny Apple Green and Purple Posy Cardstock. These cut panels are 3″ x 5″. I punched little flowers out and embellished them with the Champagne Rhinestones. Actually on the video I used a different punch to punch out flowers but I didn’t like how the card looked with these large flowers so I simplified it with the small flowers and I love it so much more!

This is the diagram I made up to get seven cards from this lay out. There are only three small pieces that are not used making these cards.
