Hello everyone! Fall is barely hanging on as temperatures start to
drop. Still time to make fall cards, though! Today I'll be showing you
how to make this cute card project using products from
This is what I call an “off the edge” card. I don’t think I’ve ever made one of
these types of cards, although the technique has been around for a while.
Let me show you how I made it!
Since I needed to fold the card on the left side, I had to be careful as
to where my elements were placed on the card. I placed them horizontally
at the bottom. This insured that I would have enough room to
to actually cut off part of my card and it would be positioned correctly
on the front.
I did choose my background paper before starting to color. I decided
to use my Prisma Color Pencils so that no color could bleed through
like Copics would cause and because I hadn’t made a card using
them in a while! I used light layers to gradually build up my color.
You can see my pencil line as to where I would cut the card. I just used
scissors to trim this out and around the fox and squirrel I used a
black marker after the cutting was done.
I cut a strip of the plaid
paper that was 1 ¾” wide and used a scalloped edge die on
the left side for the inside of my card. I stamped a sentiment that
I had in my stash and then adhered tiny leaf sequins around
my image. I also used a white gel pen for a few highlights. And
that finished my card project!
I hope you’ll give this card a try. You could use so many
different images for all kinds of occasions! You can find the stamp
sets that I used and so many more at
