My awesomely creative downline, Robin Armbrecht, did a video on this concept that I had been wanting to try for some time! I used the Hello Harvest Bundle and the Rustic Harvest DSP to create these cards. This is so fun, with so many possibilities!! Grab some DSP or create your own, and get to Stacking, Cutting, and Shuffling!
Measurements: :
- 4 Card bases: 1/2 sheet (can be all the same or a variety)
- 4 Layers of Cardstock: 4" x 5 1/4" (usually all the same)
- 4 Layers to Cut: 3 ¾” x 5” (DSP, and/or Cardstock) This is what you’ll STACK, CUT, & SHUFFLE.
To Make This Card:
- Stack all the top layers together.·
- Make the first cut 1 ¼” from right side. This makes 2 “piles”.
- Turn the 2 piles 90° (horizontally) and make another cut at 1 ¼” from the right side. Take care to keep the pieces in order in each pile.·
- Lay stacks of pieces out the way that they will be finished on the card.·
- Start with the largest piece, and leave the stack as is. Go to the stack to the left, and shuffle the top one to the bottom, go to the next stack and shuffle 2 to the bottom, go to the last stack and bring the bottom piece to the top. You’ve now accomplished “the shuffle”!!·
- Start gluing the pieces to the card layers, as shown. This version, the pieces are touching each other, with a 1/8” outside border.·
- Continue until all 4 layers are created.·
- Next, continue with your “focal point”. Decide on your “theme” and use this for your “focal point”.·
- I usually try to mount this onto a decoratively shaped “base layer”.·
- Next add accents, or embellishment pieces.·
- And finish with a “message”.·
- Voilà you’re done!
