It's easy to transform your paper stash into finished cards—if you have the right tools! So much more than a sketch, each Club Scrap Card Formula provides detailed trimming and assembly instructions to help you create a batch of greeting cards. Tricia's easy-to-follow video tutorial will walk you through the entire process. The Block Party 5x7 Card Formula is our latest offering!
Block Party: 5x7 Card Formula
Transform four 12x12 plains and one print into four 5x7" color-blocked cards. Purchase and download the cutting and assembly instructions—Tricia's accompanying video tutorial makes completing the cards fun and easy!
Here's a preview of the project:
Getting Started
Gather coordinating papers as outlined on the instructions download—in this case, five coordinating 12x12 papers: four plains and one print. You'll also need a few basic tools and supplies.
Follow the paper trimming instructions and sort the pieces. Deal out the trimmed elements to dry fit each card structure. Finally, add cutaparts or stamped sentiments to the appropriate panels and assemble each card with the help of a grid ruler and ATG adhesive.
Color Crush Cards
To replicate Tricia's cards, gather the following papers from the October collection:
- (4) Plains: Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow
- Print: Card Print
Add a stamped sentiment to the front of each card (Round and Round 03.25) with India Black ink.
Stamp the inside of each card with a complementary greeting. (Whimsy 11.22)
Let's take a look at additional cards Tricia made with materials from other recent collections.
Timeless Christmas Cards
To recreate the cards below, gather one each of Timeless Christmas Card Print and Red, Green, Teal and Ivory plain.
Add outer and inner sentiments with Timeless Christmas stamps. Add a bit of sparkle with Dazzles stickers.
