January Stamp Club - 2nd Set

As always, we make many cards at Club.  MANY.  I always find a technique or have requests of techniques and sometimes there are just things that must be shared.  

This technique is easy.  Yes, really.

Cut two coordinating pieces of Designer Series Paper to 4" x 5 1/4".   Cut both, paying attention to the pattern from the top left corner to the bottom right on the diagonal.  You'll want to use a trimmer with a metal wire to get your corners cut on a miter.  

Adhere the first piece leaving an equal border along the two sides.  Adhere the second piece right to the edge of the first.  The borders should be of equal width (or pretty close) on the opposite sides.

Add a greeting and a bit of ribbon, and you've got a very pretty card!

This greeting was stamped in Poppy Parade to coordinate with the background paper.

Here you can see the two cards from the two sheets of paper.

The greeting here was stamped in Soft Succulent to coordinate with the greens on the card. 

Since the direction on the yellow piece was specifically directional, I had to cut two piece of the yellow.  That design just looks strange to me when it's upside down.
