Month: November 2020

This fabulous Feels Like Frost designer series paper, with it’s striking wintery photos on one side and shimmery silver foil on the other, inspired me to create a layout that not only works great with this paper but also with other patterns and themes! It’s so easy, I wonder why I haven’t seen this before.

Since this is 6″ x 6″ paper I’ll go over how to cut this size paper and then how to do it with 12″ x 12″. With your pattern facing right side up, cut at 4″ so you have a 4″ x 6″ piece and a 2″ x 6″ piece. Taking the 4″x6″ piece, turn so the 6″ side is at the top and cut at 4.5″. You will turn them both right facing again and just flip the bottom piece over. So simple! And you have some wiggle room to show more or less of the main image because of the way this is cut. Each pack of 6″ x 6″ paper has 48 sheets, so that’s at least 48 cards using this layout, plus another 24 or so with the strips left over.

I’ve used the 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon to cover the seam (wrapped around the bottom portion) and have popping out from under my greetings, which are on dimensionals. The great thing about this ribbon is it is incredibly easy to color using our Blends! The white and silver look stunning with all paper, but it was a fun way to add another pop of color. That ribbon also comes in Vanilla/Gold so you can really match any project.

For a 12″ x 12″ piece of patterned paper you would simply cut at 4″ and 8″ and then in half again at the 6″ on the other side so you have 6 pieces of 4″ x 6″ paper. You’ll be able to make 6 cards with that. And with a whole pack of paper, that’s 72 EASY cards!

You might be wondering what to do with the 2″ strip we have left from the 6″ x 6″ papers. I took those strips and cut most of them into 1″ x 6″ strips and then just layered them on my card. Using both sides I was able to add some color to the cards without another ink color. I used Basic Gray ink on all of these cards along with the versatile Christmas stamp set Wrapped in Christmas. This set has a variety of text styles and shapes that make it a great set to use for many projects both big and small.

I hope you like this Snip & Flip card layout. I’d love to see any cards you create using this method. You can email me or Facebook message me and I might feature your card on my next Facebook post. You can make 40 cards very easily with these products:

*One Pack of Thick Whisper White cardstock – 24 sheets (enough for 40 cards plus 4 sheets left over for greetings)

*One pack of medium Whisper White envelopes – 40 envelopes

*One pack of Feels Like Frost designer series paper – 48 6″ x 6″ double sided sheets (photos on one side and silver foil and white on the other)

*One spool of 3/8″ Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon – 10 yards, enough for 5″ on all 40 cards plus lots left over

Adhesive of your choice (I recommend Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Seal +)

Make 72 cards by getting 2 packs each of the paper and envelopes! You’ll still have enough designer series paper and ribbon to complete 72 cards. That comes to $1.08 per card including the 3 adhesives! That’s an incredible value…and it’s easy…and beautiful! Win Win Win!
