Two Cards, Subtle Differences

Do you like to make multiples of the same card? Or, do you prefer one of a card pieces of art? What if you like one of a kind, but you need multiples? You could make multiple pieces of art, or you could make the same design with subtle differences.

I want to help turn your crafting stress into success.

Do you enjoy the design process and want to spend your time making unique masterpieces? What if you have a holiday or event coming up and you need several cards? What then?

How to make several cards

  • Make multiples of the same design
  • Choose a kit and use someone else’s design to create all the elements in the kit.
  • Add your own touch in a different way to each card in a kit.
  • You design the card (or CASE it) and change small elements for each card: color, embellishments, technique, punch, etc.
  • Use already designed and printed cards and add your own embellishments and sentiments to each one.

Whatever your choice, make sure you’re making several cards at the same way in a method that is fun for you. Card making should not add stress to your life.

Card Details

This card focuses on the Translucent Floral Stamp Set and Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper.

The beautiful pattern with the various small flowers is cut into strips and adhered to the card front as four panels. You could randomly adhere the strips in whatever order you’d like, but I made sure they were in order. These are like one piece of 4″ x 4″ paper cut into 1″ strips and glued in order with a small border of cardstock showing in between panels.

This card also showcases a new stamp and punch bundle, Heartfelt Hexagon. This is one of the bundles that will be used during the World Cardmaking event.

For this card design, the flower was stamped and diecut before adhering it to the hexagon punch. The inside of the card was stamped with the same floral image.
