Video: Creating Four Cards at Once!

Good morning and Happy Monday! Jess here with a fun way to get the most out of your die cuts and create four cards at once using the new Tropical Florals Fancy Dies .

Watch the video below to see the full process or click HERE to watch on YouTube.

To start I die-cut all the foliage from Tropical Florals Fancy Dies using Arctic , Paradise , and Adriatic cardstock and the flowers using Azalea cardstock. Then I took a full 8.5" x 11" panel of Nautical cardstock and arranged all the die cuts over the panel starting with the largest pieces first.

Once I was happy with the arrangement I used Liquid Precision Glue to adhere all the pieces to the panel. When it was dry I trimmed off the overhang and then cut the cardstock down to four 4.25" x 5.5" A2 panels. I die-cut my sentiment from the Hello There Stamp & Cut from the Glitter Paper Fall pack and layered them on two layers of cardstock scraps to create a thick chipboard-like sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the panels using Liquid Precision Glue . Finally I used a hole punch to cut lots of gold glitter dots from my glitter cardstock scraps and adhered them to the panels to fill in any gaps and add a little extra sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

So pretty! I love the colors! I ordered this die set a few days ago and I’m looking forward to creating with it!

Denise Bryant,

What a great tip! And great looking cards. Thanks for such an easy way to make cards – gotta go play now!

Geri S,

What a great idea. It would work so well if you wanted to mass produce cards. As you said, these four could be a set to be gifted. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea.
