Yesterday for my Facebook Live I created two different cards based on two different card tutorials I shared to my email list subscribers. I loved the layouts of the cards and wanted to make them with different products! I am loving the Earthen Textures Suites – it’s very chic and quite stunning! Here’s a look at the suite –
Here’s the recording of the card on made on today’s Facebook Live. You will be able to see the measurements for the cards as you watch along on the video recording.
The first card is a fun fold – a small panel opens from the center section of the card. I used a die to create an interesting panel for the inside, too.
My next card shows a unique way to cut a 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP – simply mark each side at 1 1/2″ and then cut – you can see how i do this in the Facebook Replay. By cutting it in this way, you will have four identical panels to create four cards. I love the combination of colors in this card:
