Today’s tutorial is for a 2-4-1 penned thank you card. Yesterday I shared a way of creating two card fronts at once using Stitched Rectangle dies. Now I’m back with an even easier way of creating 2-4-1 card fronts.

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the 2-4-1 penned thank you card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own.

I’m still sharing a sneak peek of the Sale-a-bration freebie – Beautifully Penned DSP, available from 3 August, free with a £45 purchase. This is a black and white set of papers and I used a different pattern yesterday. There are twelve sheets of 12″ x 12″ paper, 4 each of 3 double-sided designs and they work amazingly to mix and match with the Hand-Penned DSP (15% off until 2 August).

Colour Combo

The colour combo mixes Highland Heather, Basic Black and Basic White.

2-4-1 penned thank you card

Start with an A6 portrait card of Highland Heather. Cut two card front layers, one of the Highland Heather pattern of Hand-Penned DSP and the other the same pattern from the Beautifully Penned DSP, aligning the patterns. Layer together and cut diagonally using a paper trimmer (see video below). Mix and match the patterns and adhere direct to the card front.

Die cut a small scallop rectangle from Basic White card with the Scalloped Contours dies. Using Memento Black ink stamp a sentiment from Ornate Thanks onto the rectangle. Pop up on the card front over the Highland Heather pattern of paper. Using Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp the single outline flower from the Color & Contour stamp set on a scrap of Basic White card. Fill in with the solid flower using Highland Heather ink. Die cut out with the Scalloped Contours dies and pop up on the card front over the black and white pattern. Finish with a Pastel Pearl in the flower centre.

Here’s the quick tip video explaining how to align the papers, how to cut them and giving another example (together with another sneak peek!). Please subscribe to my Youtube channel for future quick tips and quick cards.

2-4-1 penned thank you card insert

On the Basic White insert, stamp the outline flower spray from the Color & Contour stamp set using Gorgeous Grape ink. Stamp again over the top with the solid flower spray using Highland Heather ink.

Here’s both cards together, showing how the position of sentiment and flower are simply switched around.

Thanks for stopping by.
