Designer Series Paper Cutting Diagram
You will want to start with a 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP.) If your paper is 12″ x 12″, simply cut it in quarters to get the 6″ x 6″ piece.
Start by cutting off the 3/4″ piece from the bottom, then cut the other three pieces that you will use for your card. This easy card layout using Designer Series Paper is perfect for a 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP because you will have very little waste. Or no waste, use that other scrap for a little pop on another card that you make!
