It's easy to transform your paper stash into finished cards—if you have the right tools! A Club Scrap card formula is so much more than a sketch, each provides detailed trimming and assembly instructions to create a quick batch of greeting cards. As inspiration, I'm offering a special freebie: the Double Block Card Formula.
If you haven't tried our unique crafting method, now is the time! I recently shared the process featuring this brand-new Card Formula LIVE on YouTube. If you missed it, you can watch the replay below.
Double Block Card Formula
Getting Started
Click here to download your free formula.
Gather coordinating papers as outlined on the instructions download—in this case, four coordinating 12x12 papers: two prints and two plains. Follow the paper trimming instructions and sort the pieces. Deal out the trimmed elements to dry fit each card structure. Finally, add stamped sentiments to the appropriate panels and assemble each card with the help of a grid ruler and ATG adhesive.
Autumn Glow
Gather:
- Paper A: Large Leaf Print
- Paper B: Small Leaf Print
- Paper C: Plum
- Paper D: Ivory
Add stamped sentiments to the blank panels with Earth ink.
Create a leaf accent with coordinating scrap paper and a punch or die.
Now that you've mastered the basics, recycle the formula with additional papers, stamps and embellishments from your stash.
Toile
To recreate these cards, gather Lt. Blue Print, Dk. Blue Print, and White and Dk. Blue Plains. Add stamped sentiments from the Toile collection with Sapphire ink.
Tunisian Tiles
These four cards feature one each of the Plaster Print, Grid Print, Red and White Plain.
Before adhering, ink the edges of each printed panel with Earth CS® Hybrid ink. Stamp the sentiment with Sapphire ink.
Thread black waxed cord through a Wooden Button, tie in a simple knot, and attach to the front of the card with foam adhesive.
Trim printed and plain scraps into banner shapes and adhere inside each card next to the inner sentiment.
Boughs of Joy
Need holiday cards in a hurry? Repeat this formula in multiples to make a batch of gorgeous Christmas cards, four at a time. This set features the Berry Print, Wreath Print, Brown and Red Plains and stamps from the Boughs of Joy collection.
Stamp the sentiment with Earth ink. Transform the sentiment panels into a "tag" with a slot punch and red ribbon.
