Tuesday Tutorial - De-Constructed (Faux) Double Point Card

So here we go... the simple way to make a Nested Labels Double Point card... as long as you don't want the "flappy bit" which (for many) is probably a main feature of the original Double Point Card... though not for me...

So this simplified way gives me everything I like in the Double Point design... but at speed... and with less materials being needed....

And I changed this one up after the original Noble Peacock De-constructed Double Point Card posted here... as thinner Magnolia Lane papers meant I could add a co-ordinating mat whilst I was at it...

And please note that for simplicity's sake in the Tutorial...

(1) I kept the paper panel the same size for both of these card variations (the coloured mat being optional and that bit larger...)

(2) I have not altered the panel & mat dimensions for a wider US A2 card (4 1/4" ilo Rest of World A6 4 1/8" wide)... so you will have a bit of a white gap to line up on the top and bottom edge of this version...

But that's nice! So why re-design and complicate matters!! Look at this version here to check out "a bit of a white gap"

Deconstructed Simple Double Point Noble Peacock card

So how many of you have seen the Double Point cards doing the rounds...

Perfect with our new Nested Label die cut shape... and I have loved every card I have seen using the design... and will come back to some cards as intended sometime soon...

But in the meantime... well I decided to deconstruct the design... and simplify... and here you have it!

Incorporating Stitched Nested Labels dies, Sorry for Everything stamps, Noble Peacock papers, Bloom & Grow and Daisy Lane bundles for good measure!

And spot the Nested Label shape cut from this Royal Peacock card... and that the white greerting panel id the same size but trimmed by hand using the line inside the stitched line... so as to get a thin mat...

Please visit my Online Store here to find all the named products and more... thank you... 

And I will be back with more details on this card design sometime very soon... as we are a bit addicted to them!
