Have you ever tried using just one image to create 2 cards? I love myself a ‘twofer’ design and today’s image is beautiful either in 1 or 2 pieces!
But first… Did you know that this video is part of my Take 2 With Therese series of videos that I create for Altenew? You can check out the full playlist right HERE for more inspiration.
For both card designs I used the beautiful Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch. It has a wonderful large delicate floral design which was big enough to divide between 2 clean and simple cards.
BUT what if you don’t like Clean and Simple designs? Why not try adding both pieces of the ‘branch’ to one card, how beautiful would that be!
This Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch comes with a co-ordinating Layering Stencil Set and this made it very quick and easy to add colour to such a large image.
I kept both card designs clean and simple.
And for my first card I added a simple sentiment and splatters using the Inky Bouquet Stamp Set.
My second idea uses the smaller portion of the image and this time I decided to add a layered Mega Hello Die cut.
I love how the tone on tone looks like a deep embossed word.
And finally I added a small sentiment from the Blossom Wreath Stamp Set.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I hope you are inspired to try a ‘twofer’ card! And if you do, I’d love to see it so please tag me on social media!

Both cards are absolutely beautiful Therese, but my favourite is the “Hello beautiful” card. It’s just gorgeous ❤️
Thanks so much Dee!
I always love it when that BIG hello comes out once more! Two gorgeous makes, my friend – a totally terrific twofer!
=]
Yes, it’s such a fave and the stamp is too! I just wish the ‘happy’ was as large and fit on the front of an A2 card. Yes, I know, I want it all lol.
Both cards are amazing! But I really like the card with the big hello!
Thanks so much Debbie, that’s my fave too!
since this a “twofer” can I have a “twofer” answer? 🙂
the GIANT hello is fabulous- it has been in my “wish list” for quite some time so may have to finally go into my “buying cart”!
It’s such a ‘go to’ sentiment for me, I espeically love it used on a portrait A2 card like this one.
Thanks for another inspirational video,both cards are fabulous I think the hello one just inches ahead but very difficult to choose .The big hello really looks stunning in white with the addition of the layers and your colouring is so pretty.

Thanks Marie, I adore that big Hello and colouring with the stencils is really a game changer if you are short on time or don’t have the confidence to colour.
Stunning and lovely cards, Therese
No I can not pick a favorite. They are both beautiful and inspirational. I love when you could get 2 cards out of a die or stamped image.
Me too, I love a ‘twofer’ and this one is particularly pretty!
Love both of them Therese, loving the idea of using the stencils too and now want to experiment using stencils on different stamp sets to see what happens 😉 Viv x
A “twofer” is my favorite!!! If I’m going to make one, I want two for not much extra effort too! Lol. Amazing cards.
I totally hear you lol.
Beautiful cards. Great idea for us time poor people!
