Tuesday Techniques & Tips - Blossoms in Bloom - Split Card Technique

So this technique is all the rage at the moment so I couldn't resist trying it out and adding my own (very little) twist...

But before I start... the Box of  Sunshine Paper Pumpkin kit is now available to order... Makes 8 cards and envelopes and is specially designed to help you create a sunshine box: a yellow box full of goodies to brighten someone’s day! Includes stamp set and ink. Stamping block not included. 

 Only available while supplies last... Click here for more details OR click here to just go and order ...  
And now back to today's main event!

Original brainchild and shared by Jennifer McGuire in early May 2020... as the Split Card Technique... though I have also seen others refer to it as Split Front Card technique.. or even an alternative One Sheet Wonder technique...

Basically the simple creation of one panel... and then trim that panel to produce panels for multiple cards... so creating more than one card at a time... 4 in this case... Quick & simple... 

My starting Whisper White card panel was 16 cm Square (6 1/4")...

Which I stamped the large image in the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set at the centre... using new In Color inks - Bumble Bee and Cinnamon Cider...
And then at each of the 4 corners...
Then I cut the large panel down to four 8cm squares (3 1/8")... 
Stamped the greetings in Cinnamon Cider... which meant that I did change the orientation of some of the panels so that they were most pleasing to my eye!

Mounted them onto 8.5cm square (3 3/8") Bumble Bee or Cinnamon Cider panels...
And onto my new favourite 9.9cm ( 3 15/16") card blank size (as 3 cards from a sheet of A4)
Think these have to be the quickest and simplest cards I have produced all year!

    It certainly is a popular technique at the moment. Love the colour combination you've used

    Thank you Jane.. it was interesting using all the new In Colours for a change ... all at the same time... albeit not on the same card!
