Special Moments with Abstract Beauty Designer Paper

I got the idea for these cards from Laura Milligan from Stampin Up! when she posted what she called the Stack, Cut, and Shuffle Technique. These types of cards are also good when you have extra Designer Paper scraps around. For this technique, you stack 4 designer papers together, make 3 cuts than shuffle the pieces around to create 4 easy cards! I used the Abstract Beauty which comes sized as 4″ x 6″.

Just a reminder that our Sale-A-Bration Promo ends in 6 days! If you want to get some free items with your purchase, make sure you place your order before the end of the month!

The greetings stamp set I used on these cards is part of our Sale-A-Bration Promo. You can get the Special Moments stamp set free with a min. $120 order.

How to cut the Designer Pieces:

1. 1. Cut the paper to be 4″ x 5 1/4″.
   2. Cut 2 1/2″ off the width.  (Cut #1)
   3. Take the wider piece and cut at 1 3/4″.  (Cut #2)
   4. Take the thinner piece and cut at 1 1/2″.  (Cut #3)

Directions for cards

1. 1. Mix around the pieces so that you have 4 different Designer Paper pieces on each card.
   2. Adhere the 4 pieces on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock. Adhere the layer to the card base.
   3. Stamp the greetings on scrap Basic White cardstock, then cut out using the dies or the punch.
   4. Add ribbons & embellishments, then add the greeting layer with Dimensionals.
