The Split Card design is a fun way to use similar OR contrasting Designer Series Papers in an easy way, even though it looks more difficult than it is. Here’s my card using the Mediterranean Blooms
Here were my supplies:
- Night of Navy cardstock base of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
- 2 pieces of coordinating DSP cut to 5 1/4” x 4”
- 2 pieces of Basic White cardstock, cut to 5 1/4” x 4”, one for front and one for inside of card
- 2 strips of Night of Navy cardstock, cut at 5 1/2 x 1/2”
- 2 circles: one at 2” in Night of Navy cardstock, one at 1 3/4” in white cardstock to stamp the sentiment on.
Cut the DSP papers at angles, BOTH papers at the same time, exactly on top of each other. The cuts do not have to be exact, just eye up and do something similar to what you see on the sample card above – no need to measure! Mix and match the two papers so you have a contrasting paper in the middle. You’ll have three pieces left over for another card, which you can see below. Adhere the middle one down, lining up with the bottom corner. Take the two outer pieces and add the narrow strip of Navy cardstock underneath the panel, and trim off the edges. Adhere those to the card — they will overlap the middle piece.
I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut out two circles, one in Night of Navy and one in Basic White. Stamp on the white circle and adhere to the bigger circle and pop onto the card front. Add a bow and embellish!
Here’s what the second card will look like using the same two sheets of DSP. Isn’t that fun? You can use with any of your favorite coordinating Designer Series Papers!
