Hello everyone! Spring is on its way and I am so glad. Winter
seemed especially gray and dark this year. To make my
center cut-away card I'll be using products from
This is a very versatile set with lots of images. Let me show you how I
made this fun fold card!
I started by composing my images. I copied and pasted the grass
stamp several times. I printed this out onto white card stock.
Next I took a 6 ½” x 5” white notecard and cut away 1 ¼” on
each side of the front. This leaves a nice 4” center panel on the
base to put the focal on.
At this point I die cut my image with a 3 ½” x 4 ½” fancy
rectangle die. Then I chose my papers. I needed 2 that went
well together. I chose the blue for the center panel because
I didn’t want to color the background of my image. And having
a blue panel underneath gives the idea of sky on a spring day!
I deliberately chose the plaid paper with a “Spring” color palette.
I started my coloring by identifying the main colors and placement.
I color matched to the plaid paper.
The coloring was really quite quick. I did 2, 3 and 4 color blends
for the elements.
This image colored up nicely and it looked really good with the
plaid paper. At this point, I covered the center panel on the card
base with the blue and the side panels plaid. My side panels
were only about 1/8” underneath the center flap.
The side pieces of plaid paper could be edged with a cute
edge die.
For embellishments I adhered tiny yellow flowers amongst
the grass with Stickles in the centers along with some green twine.
And I placed 3 tiny butterfly sequins around the flowers in the can. I
did not add a sentiment, but this could be used as a get well card
and so many other occasions. I foam taped the focal to the center
blue panel of the card.
This card project worked up quite quickly. With only a smaller
focal, the card base and papers did the rest of the work! I hope
I’ve inspired you to try making one of these side cut-away cards.
