HOW TO CUT FOR ONE CARD AND CREATE FOUR!

Today for my Facebook Live I decided to use the Slim Card Dies from Stampin' Up! I have had them for several months but this was the first time I really got around to playing with them. This set of dies will help you make four, yes I said four cards from basically one cut. In order to create the first card, I had to cut 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of each of the four colors, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride and Basic White. When I was done putting together the puzzle in the back ground I had a ton of the pieces left. One of the great things about these dies is that a lot of them fit into several of the spaces on the card. By the time I had used up all of the cut out pieces I had created FOUR cards. For each 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of cardstock which I cut I had a piece left that was larger than 7 x 8 1/2 so I trimmed it down to that size and scored on the 7" side a 3 1/2.

Measurements

Cut 7 x 8 1/2, score at 3 1/2 on the 7" side (one of each color)

Use the remaining 4 inches to cut out the die (one of each color)
Cut 1 of each color of the 2nd largest scallop rectangle using Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Cut 1 of each color of the 3rd largest scallop rectangle using Stitched So Sweetly Dies

On the next part I didn't do a very good job of switching things around. I wanted to cut one of each color to stamp on but lost my way. I stamped the greetings in Basic Gray and used greetings from Expressions of Friendship (a host set from January - June 2022 Mini Catalog) and from Flowers of Friendship

Inside
I cut a piece to match the frame on the front of the card 3 1/4 x 8 1/4
Cut 3 x 8 Basic White, adhere to the coordinating color and attach to the inside of the card
