Split Card Technique

I love to send thank you cards to my customers and to anyone who may help me out. AND, a LOT of people help me out. It’s such a simple gesture but I think it means a lot. I know I appreciate a thank you note, too. This one uses what I call a “Split Card Technique.” I love the beautiful patterned papers that Stampin’ Up! included in this annual catalog. On this card, I say that the patterned paper does all the work.

I did a quick Facebook Live to show how I made the card. For some reason it is sideways. I apologize! I seem to be quite challenged in camera orientation. 

​Here is the card I made on FB and you can see the video here. 

Here are the correct dimensions for the card:
Whisper White card base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Garden Green  mat: 5 1/4″ x 4″
Bumblebee small mat: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
Two DIFFERENT pieces of patterned paper, layered and cut at once: 3″ x 4 1/4″
Whisper white scrap for sentiment
Ribbon or 1/2″ wide scrap of paper to layer under sentiment.

Here is another card I made using the same pattern using the other two papers and terra-cotta tile with early espresso. .

Now it’s time for you to go make a card! Just find two pieces of patterned paper that coordinate well together and try this layout!
