Hi Stampers!
When I need cards in a hurry, or when my creativity meter is low, I pull out my card layout notebook. It contains several card layouts that can be used with most stamp sets. Today I am sharing one of those card layouts.
Let’s take a look at the cards I made using the layout:
SUPPLIES & CUTTING DIMENSIONS FOR THE CARD
* Card base - 11” x 4 1/4” scored and folded at 5 1/2” or 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”, and a piece of cardstock the same color as the base cut at 3 7/8” x 2 5/8”to mat focal panel.
* Basic White cardstock (or cardstock that contrasts with card base color) cut at 5 1/2” x 2 1/4” for mat, and a piece of. ASIC White cut at 3 3/4” x 2 1/2” to stamp focal image.
* Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut at 5 1/2” x 2”.
* Optional - Basic White cut at 5” x 3 3/4” for inside card.
*Now that you have the pieces for the card layout, choose an image to stamp and a greeting.
* Select your ink colors.
* Decide on embellishment - yes or no, what ones? Ribbon? Gems?
ASSEMBLY
* Stamp the image and sentiment on the focal panel. Adhere this to its mat. If you want to use ribbon on this panel add it now.
* Adhere the DSP to its mat. Place this piece on the card base about 1/4” from the left hand side of the card front.
* Ahere the matted focal panel somewhere near the center about 1” from the left edge of the card. I used dimensionals to adhere the focal panel.
As I mentioned, use any images, greetings, inks, and paper you desire to create a terrific card using this layout. I have listed the supplies I used for my cards just in case you are wondering what I used.
SQUIRREL POOL PARTY

For the next two cards, the layout is the same, I just stamped the image on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock, die cut it with the Layering Circles Dies, matted that on another die cut from coordinating cardstock. I adhered this piece to the focal panel.
