Ready to Create these DIY Paper Pieced Cards?
If you have followed me for any length of time, you know how much I love to create my own Designer Series Paper. This card idea takes it to a whole new level because I can create it so much faster using only a 1 ½” x 8″ piece of Basic White cardstock to start with.
I think the addition of stamping on the inside of the card is a game changer too!
- Basic White Thick: 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score at 4 ¼” (card base)
- Basic White:
- 1 ½” x 8” – stamped and cut to 3”, 3 ½”, and 1 ½” (stamped card layers)
- 1 ½” x 1” (greeting)
- 3 ¾” x 5” (inside card)
- Petunia Pop:
- 1 ¾” x 10” – cut to 3 ¾”, 3 ¼”, 1 ¾”, and 1 ¼” (card front layers)

Thanks, Connie, for this tutorial on these pretty cards. Having the measurements makes it so much easier than reinventing the wheel to make the card. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Hi Connie! Thank you for the measurements on this simple card. I usually make unique and in depth cards, but sometimes I’m in a pinch for a card right away. This will be a great go to when I need something quick, which is quite often, lol. I love your hair, you look so pretty. I need to make a card for my husband and I will use this layout with masculine DSP. I also love your 2-Minute Tuesday program with your smart tips. I’ve been following you for years on Pinterest. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter.
Many thanks for the tutorial
Thanks Connie. Sure do appreciate the measurements. Love the cards!
