I was inspired by this card map

Using Card Maps Tip #3

When I challenge myself to make fun fold cards, I also use scrap cardstock and pattern paper.  I design the layout and cut my cardstock.  If I like a style, I write down the card measurements and keep them together for future use.  Look at the messy way I keep this tip.

Using Card Maps Tip #2

It can be challenging to come up with new card styles. The best way I find is to take Card Maps, also known as Card Layouts and without hesitation…..and simple cut your BEAUTIFUL Designer Series Paper.  GASP!

When I first began using card maps I had to make different sized layers with paper.  I began keeping those layers and this has made card making so much easier.  Here is a picture of my MESSY card 

layers.

Using Card Maps Tip #1

I made proportional card layers that fit on A2 card bases. I started with the typical card layer that is 1/8” smaller than the 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” card base.

I made the following proportional card layers in a sturdy cardstock

• 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”
• 4” x 5 1/4”
• 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”
• 3 3/4” x 5”
• 3 5/8” x 4 7/8”
• 3 1/2” x 4 3/4”
• 3 3/8” x 4 5/8”
• 3 1/4” x 4 1/2”
• 3 1/8” x 4 3/8”

Five Panel Card

Stampin' Up! Products

• Pretty Peacock cardstock
• Garden Green cardstock
• Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper
• Forever Fern stamp set
• Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Pretty Peacock inks
• Forever Flourishing dies
• Gold twine

This is card layout was designed by my Stampin' Up! Upline Connie Stewart. This was my submission for a private retreat.

Unfortunately this card is not included in my Forever Greenery Series because the layout was designed by someone else.

OH, that's why.....

…. now I understand!

Ready for a shocker, Stampin' Up!'s paper may not always be exactly 8 1/2" x 11".  This picture shows the sliver of cardstock left when cutting both card bases exactly at 5 1/2".  For this very reason, I make sure that each of the card bases (or card layers) are exactly 5 1/2" wide.  The same holds true for the 11" measurement.

Forever Greenery Series

I just love the new Stampin' Up! Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.  The greens are gorgeous.  I will be offering a PDF with pictures and measurements for at least ten cards and it will be available for purchase or free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase using my current Hostess Code.  I will post more information in the coming days.

Below are sneak peeks for the first four.
