Stack, Cut, Shuffle and Create Cards

 


Today was to be a blog hop but it was cancelled so I changed things around and here is a quick way to make 3 easy cards.

I took 3 different pieces of DSP cut 5 1/4 x 4.  I made a pile of them and cut the any which way to make 3 pieces from each design.


This is what I got when I mixed them up.


I then took 3 pieces of Basic White cut them to 5 1/4  x 4 now I wad ready to grab 3 different pieces in different shapes and made these 3 backgrounds.


Now I was ready to create my cards.  For the first card I made a base with Pecan Pie 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  I used this base for all my cards but different colors.  I glued the first piece to the base.  Then took another piece of Pecan Pie cut 3 x 1 and glued on a sentiment from one of are Ephemera packs and glued it to this piece.  I placed it in the center of the cards with dims and then fussy cut 2 leaves and 1 mushroom from the DSP and added them to the top of the sentiment piece. Finished with 3 Earth Tone Shimmer Gems.


The second card has a card base of Basic Beige. I added a piece of Gold Edged Satin ribbon across the center and then adhered it to the front of the card.  Had a large circle already die cut and on this piece and the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set decorated the circle.  Stamped the outside of the squirrel and sentiment in Early Espresso and the inside of the squirrel in Cajun Craze piled up some acorns in Pecan Pie and put the circle in the center of the cards over the ribbon with dims.  Finished with 3 Pressed Flower motifs.

The card base for the 3rd card is Crushed Curry.  Added the last background to the card base.  Took another die cut circle and with Cajun Craze stamped the sentiment, some acorns and leaves around the circle.  The acorn and leaves were in a Paper Pumpkin kit.  I then ran the edge of the circle in the ink pad.  Added this to the center of the card. Adhered 3 Crust embellishments to the card and #3 was done.


Here are the three cards together.
