I set myself a little challenge to see how I could adapt the 3" x 4" pieces of Designer Series Paper to make full sized cards. All the card bases are the metric 10.5cm x 14.85cm. All the other measurements are in imperial as I found it easier to measure and cut using imperial so that I did not have any small scraps.
Card 1
On the 4" side (this is the long side) from the bottom measure up 1" on the right hand side and 1 1/2" up on the left hand side. Cut on the diagonal from the 1" mark to the 1 1/2" mark.
Card 3
Card 5
Card 6
Card 7
Card 8
Card 9
Card 10
Card 11
Card 12
Cut the 3" x 4" piece into 2 strips, 1 measuring 1" x 4" and 1 measuring 2" x 4". Cut up 1 1/2" from the bottom of these two strips so you have 1 piece at 2" x 2 1/2", 1 at 1" x 2 1/2", 1 at 2" x 1 1/2" and 1 at 1" x 1 1/2". Adhere the 2" wide pieces to the cardstock mat cut at 5 1/8" x 2 1/8" leaving a gap in the middle and adhere the 1" wide pieces to the cardstock mat cut at 5 1/8" x 1 1/8" leaving a gap in the middle.
Adhere these pieces to a cardstock mat that measures 3 1/8" x 4 7/8". Adhere to the card front.
Cut a cardstock strip that measures 5" x 1 1/8" and emboss this. Adhere this across the card front on the diagonal to cover the gap between the two pieces of Designer Series Paper. Trim off any excess on either side.
Add your embellishments and sentiment to finish.
Card 2
On the 4" side cut at 2 3/4" so you have two pieces, one measuring 2 3/4" x 3" and 1 1/4 x 3". Adhere these to a cardstock mat cut at 3 1/8" x 4 7/8". Adhere to the card front.
