November Club Demonstrations - Split Front Card

I saw this technique recently on a demonstration facebook page and just had to try it!

Love how it turned out

It's called the Split Front Card and I saw it on Tina Shaw's blog

Isn't that pretty?

So to make this card, I cut the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper at 5" x 3 3/4"

I then placed a little "tick" mark at 1" from the right bottom side and 2 1/4" up on the right side.

I then cut from the top left down to each "tick" mark and ended up with two pieces

Here's the template 

If you want to add some cardstock along the centers, cut a piece of cardstock (Garden Green in this case) 6" x 3/4"

Add adhesive to the designer series paper and adhere to the cardstock

Trim off the edges

Add the designer series paper to the Bumblebee Cardstock (5 1/4" x 4") and ten to the card base

I cut out one poinsettia using the coordinating die and added it to the top with Stampin' Dimensionals

Added the beads and stamped the sentiment

Done!!

Really quick and simple, but oh so pretty!

Gilded Autumn Herringbone Slimline Card

I saw LeAnne Greff make this Herringbone Slimline Card, so I had to try it!!

I had SO many scraps from this paper - great way to use it up!!

To do the herringbone technique, you take a piece of card stock and cover it fully with adhesive. 

I used Stampin' Seal and covered the entire piece of Very Vanilla

Cut pieces 1/2" by about 4"

Start with a center piece offset just a bit, and line them up to the corner to the left. 

Then turn and again starting in the center line up butting up against the first piece you started with

Once you have them all on the card stock, trim off

That paper is SO beautiful!

AND I used the Autumn Punch Pack to cut out the Acorn and leaves

 

 

Measurements

Cinnamon Cider Card Base 8 1/2" x 7" scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side

Mint Macaron 8 1/4" x 3 1/4"

For the coordinating envelope I used the pumpkin paper from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper
