Create 9 different card designs with perfect borders every time. In today’s video, I will share different cutting measurements to create a variety of perfect borders around your sentiments or stamped images. This super simple technique will add a whole new dimension to your cards, especially if you are making your greeting the focal point.
I hope this fun technique of using 3 basic borders and minimal supplies will make your card creating easier. In all of my samples, I used the same greeting, but this technique will work for any stamped image you want to make the focal point of your card. Add some bling and really step it up! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

The Rain or Shine Designer Series paper featured in the mini January -April catalog is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love these little critters. They are so bright and cheery, even if it is raining.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Basic Black and then a layer of Rain or Shine DSP to the card front. Yes, I fussy cut Mr. Fox and the little flower bouquet, but you have to admit, they make the card. The sentiment is from Nature’s Prints featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Despite the occasional cold spell or snowfall in some areas, we are well into Spring – and we are ready for the flowers to bloom. We are excited to share our flower-filled creations with you and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
For today’s card, I decided to dress up a panel of our Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. The flowers and clouds were just too perfect to pass up. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to use the edges of our Designer Series paper so nothing goes to waste. The turtle and the fox on the edges were already half cut off on the 12 x 12 sheet, so I just added them to the side of my card, so these adorable critters would not be forgotten.
Yes, I do love me some paper that I can fussy cut, so I grabbed my Paper Snips and went to town. I really do like this paper pack. It is so fun and bright, perfect for a springtime birthday.

Okay, so I could not resist this stinkin’ cute rabbit, or a good fussy cut, so I created a second card to share with you, using the same Rain or Shine 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack. You will find this paper on page 51 in the mini January – April 2023 catalog.

This cards is essentially the same as the first one, I just used the rabbit instead of the turtle and the fox. I also did not add the layer of white behind the Designer Series Paper. The birthday greeting from both cards is from the Peaceful Moments set featured in the 2023 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!
I believe that everyone needs a little hope now and then. The Hope and Prayer stamp set featured in the 2023 Annual catalog is perfect for sending a little hope in the mail. I hope my card today brings a ray of hope to you today. I am a firm believer that there is always room for hope, so if you are having one of those days, I hope my card cheers you up just a bit.

I began with a Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Sun Prints Designer Series paper. The first layer measures 4 x 5 -1/4 and the smaller layer measures 2-1/2 x 4 and is backed with a 2-5/8 x 4-1/8 panel of Basic White cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy on a Basic White panel (1-3/4 x 2-3/4).
