I can't get enough of this stamp set and dies!  Guess I just went crazy with stamping and die cutting all of these images, so as you can see ..... I made several cards with the split trick card technique.  You can do a google search for this technique or in my search box type split trick or two for one cards.  You can go to this post to see more cards and a video or here still more of this card idea.  You can also go to my you tube channel to see how to do this technique and more.

two for one cards with video

Two for one cards!

This is a creative and easy technique that creates two card fronts at a time!

 stamps used:  Altenew stamp/die set

basic instructions:

1. lay flat an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card and mark the center with a pencil.

2.  adhere die cut flowers along the center mark all the way down the card.  you can overlap the images for dimension.

3.  when you have all the images adhered down ...the next step is to cut down the center of the card.

4.  now you have two card fronts to make into cards.

My video below can be watched here in this post or at my you-tube channel.



You can see this technique also here on this post using a big butterfly image.
I saw this idea over at Jennifer McGuire's blog.

Split Butterfly wings

stamps used:  Catherine Pooler Wings of joy stamp set/dies

This is a BIG butterfly that measures approximately 5 1/2" x 3 1/2".  When I use the full butterfly, I need to make what I call a medium card, which is a card size of 6 1/4" x 4 1/2".  I'm normally a A2 card gal, which 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  Not only will this butterfly fit across an A2 card with ease; there are dies so I don't have to fussy cut it out.  For this card I stamped and die cut a bunch of the butterflies.  Next, lay out an open card ... unfolded.  mark the center of the unfolded card.  This is where you adhere your stamped images, in this case the butterflies.  You can overlap the butterflies or not as you see in my samples.  When you have them all adhered the way you like .... cut the card in half.  Now you have two card fronts to adhere to your base cards.
