Let’s play with a new and easy card template! This card design is very basic and is a great way to put together cards when you want something simple to work on. I’ve named this card template the Uneven Foursquare (Card Template #21) because it uses four shapes – two squares and two rectangles. I also spent a lot of time doing my “stampin’ homework” this week figuring out the different ways that my new shapes die sets could work together with other shapes and punches I already have. The simple card template worked as a great backdrop for trying out some of the new die shape combinations I discovered. Wow! This was so much fun, and I hope that you not only try this week’s card template, the Uneven Foursquare, but get out all your shape dies and punches for a homework session! (Scroll all the way down for my punch & die combination pdfs.)
First things first, download the pdf for the dimensions and directions for Card Template #21. Secondly, make sure to view the video tutorial, Papercrafting Playdate 111, for additional directions and tips. Lastly, take a look at the my homework pdfs to help you put together shaped dies and punches.
Supplies
- 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” card base

Directions
- Attach DSP #1 first 1/8” from the top left corner. Next, attach DSP #4 (1/8” from the bottom left corner.) Then attach DSP #2 & DSP #3 leaving 1/8” in between all the pieces.
- Stamp and created a focal point on the 2” Circle on Basic White, then mount onto the 2-3/8” circle punch out of coordinating cardstock to matte the focal point.
- Attach the focal point anywhere on the card front where there is an intersection formed by the 1/8” gaps between the DSP pieces.
- Add embellishments.
Options & Adaptations
- Choose four different and coordinating patterns.
- Choose one scenic piece and cut into four pieces (start with a piece measuring 5-1/4” x 4”)
