Learn how to make easy cards fast, on budget & still beautiful as ever. It’s card making so fun you’ll use all those scrapbook papers and designer papers you’ve been hoarding.
You’ll want to make a stash of these Heck, have a party (virtual or in-person) and teach your friends how to make easy cards.
I have a fun and unique layout that you will use over and over.
Grab those pretty scrapbook papers and designer series you’ve got, some coordinating card stock and whatever greeting stamps you want to use.
This is the perfect layout to really show off those pretty papers. Plus, you get to see BOTH SIDES of the paper. If you are like me, sometimes I feel really bad when I just use one side of the paper!

Grab these card measurements found later in this post, grab some paper and craft along with me! Make easy cards in a stack –great gift ideas too. Jazz them up with some ribbon or embellishments!
Cutting Dimensions & Details:
Grab a piece of Designer Series Paper or scrapbook paper that is 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (the normal card front size)
Next you will need a coordinating color of cardstock for the rest of the base. This piece needs to be 5 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
Scored the card stock at 1″ to form the “flap” of the front
Adhere the DSP to the inside of the 1″ flap and there is your base.
Make sure to watch the video for some tips and to see how I finished off the rest of the card.
Here are some more ideas to try with all those pretty papers you have laying around unused!

One more wonderful card idea with very clear instructions. Thank you!
I’m glad you find the instructions helpful Carole!
Hi Jackie, this is such a fun card to make. It’s quick and easy. The thing I like the most is being able to see both sides of the DSP in one card, which is so nice for the inside of the card. I have taken it one easy step further with the 1” strip on the side by using a decorative edging punch or using an embossing folder to give it some dimension. Makes the front of the card even prettier. Thanks for sharing this idea.
I’m glad you like these!
