I was inspired to make this card after watch Julie, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's video. The quadrilaterial card was not her original idea. Check out her video HERE. I added an additional layer and changed one of her measurements.

I use liquid glue on 90% of my cards now. It is economical and I believe it holds layers together better. I glued the DSP down first, stamped the sentiment and then I applied to glue to the WW layer and placed down the embossed layer.

Ever Eden Designer Series Paper Tutorial


You purchased the over the top Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper and you want to begin using it.  Use my card designs to create gorgeous cards using this DSP.  Don't worry about creating a card and cutting up this exquisite DSP only to be disappointed in your design and/or you ruined a piece of DSP with the wrong measurement. 

I created this tutorial for nine cards, five of which are FUN FOLDS! I did not purchase the coordinating stamp and die set for my tutorial. The products I used can be easily substituted with stamps, dies, ribbon and embellishment you have in your craft room.  I have listed below all the products used for every card.

This tutorial is available FREE with your purchase of $50 or more Stampin' Up! products using my Hostess Code. The code can be found in the upper right hand corner of this blog (desktop version).

This tutorial is also available for purchase for only $9.95.
