Hi Stampers!
Today I am sharing a very basic card layout. It is perfect for double sided patterned paper, or for larger scraps of patterned paper. It is the perfect layout for when you need a card in a hurry! All it takes is an A-2 card base, a 5 1/4”x 4” piece of double sided patterned paper, or one piece of patterned paper that is 4” wide x 3 1/4” tall and one that is 4” wide x 2”tall, an inside panel, and a greeting. Of course you can add other elements to the card, keep it simple or jazz it up! You can change it up by switching the position of the two pieces of patterned paper. The layout can be oriented as portrait or landscape. This is why I like basic layouts -use the layout, then make it uniquely yours! Let’s take a peek at the sample cards:
