Supply List for Easy Designer Series Paper Card
7-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Basic White cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″ Designer Series Paper
3″ x 4″ coordinating Designer Series Paper
3-14″ x 4-1/4″ coordinating solid color cardstock
Cutting Guide for Quick Cards
The cards bases are 7-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ pieces of basic white cardstock, scored at 4-1/4″ and folded. Put these in a stack.
Choose two coordinating pieces of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Cut the first piece at 5-1/4″. Next, cut that piece into three 4″ strips like this picture shows.
Now cut each of those 4″ pieces in half so you will now have six 2″ x 5-1/2″ strips. Set those aside in a stack. (Using 4″ strips maximizes your 12″ x 12″ papers since you will get exactly three!)
Take your second piece of 12″ x 12″ paper and cut a 4″ strip. Next, cut that strip into four 3″ strips. If you are making more than four cards, cut another 4″ strip from the 12″ x 12″ piece and repeat. (Using 3″ x 4″ pieces maximizes your 12″ x 12″ papers since you will 12 pieces this size with no leftovers!)
The last thing you will need are 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ pieces of a solid color cardstock. (This will maximize your cardstock since you will be cutting it exactly in half at the 4-1/4″ point.)
To assemble – Attach two of the 2″ strips of DSP to the card bases. Layer the smaller DSP pieces on to the colored cardstock and add those to the card front. Thats it!!!
