Just Stopping by to say Hi!

Today’s card features the Tasteful Touches Bundle and the In-Color 2020-2022 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack, specifically Just Jade.

• Begin with a 5 ½ x 8 ½” piece of Just Jade cardstock.  In landscape position (AKA-long side), score at 4 ¼”, burnish and fold.
• Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic Black cardstock and attach to the card front.
• From the 6 x 6 pack of Designer series paper (2020-2022 In-Color), choose a Just Jade design and cut it to measure 3 x 4”. 
• Now cut the 4” side in half at 2”.  You should now have two pieces that measure 2 x 3”. 
• Position these pieces of designer series paper to the Basic Black panel at the top and bottom with an even edge on all sides, leaving a small gap in the center.  Don’t worry about the gap we are going to hide it with the greeting.
• Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Tasteful Labels Dies to cut a design from Just Jade cardstock. 
• Use the Stamparatus to add a greeting from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Memento Black ink.
• Attach to the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front covering the gap between your designer series paper. Add three Matte Black dots to the greeting panel.

This is a fun technique that I learned from fellow demonstrator, Christine Fracchia. I hope you will give this technique a try. It is fun and also a great way to save on our designer series paper.
