Easy To Make: Split Card

A split card-making guide shows how to cut a 4-1/4"x4-1/4" floral paper diagonally, separate the halves, and mount them on white, top-folded cards. Each card features a stamped greeting ("ENJOY YOUR DAY" and "Happy Birthday") over the diagonal space, with pearl embellishments. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I’ve created many split cards in the past, and thought it might be fun to revisit this easy to make split card again!!

I’m also sharing a super easy coloring idea for the Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper… use your small blending brushes and a few colors of ink!

Great Card for Beginners!

If you are new to card making, or just need a quick and easy card, the split card is a great design to try! The card base is a full size A2 Card, but you only need a 4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of designer paper for the front. Simply cut the designer paper on a diagonal (see graphic above), split the 2 angled pieces apart and adhere to your base card. Card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded in half at 5-1/2″.

Stamp the greeting at a diagonal in the blank space!!!

A sheet with hand-drawn, outlined flowers is partially colored using pink, yellow, and orange markers and blending brushes. Three small blending brushes and two marker pens are shown above the sheet. A text box explains using blending brushes for detailing flower colors. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

An easy way to color in the Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper is to use the small Stampin’ Up! blending brushes and apply ink colors of your choice to the flowers. I used my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers to color in the leaves.
