Want to see how you can make 2 quick and EASY die cut cards? I’d call that ‘Zero Waste’… 😉

What NO stamping? 2 Die cuts and 2 Cards… that’s unheard of! Seriously, this 2 for 1 floral cardmaking idea is perfect for some fabulously fast cards.

This is part of my Take 2 Series with Altenew and it’s wondeful to be back with another video today.

Card #1 – No Background

The secret to the speed of these cards is the Zero Waste 3D Floral Cover Die, in just one pass of a die cutting machine you have multiple flowers, leaves and a background… enough for 2 beautiful cards.

I added some subtle colours using my ink blending tools, but these flowers would also look fabuous cut from coloured cardstock.

PRO TIP: Add some dimension to the flowers by ‘rolling’ them with a pen or detailed blending brush like I did.

You may have something similar or some simple floral die cuts that can be layered in the same way, to get this look.

Card #2 – With a Background

The die cut ‘left-over’ background certainly adds a little extra dimension and subtle pattern to an otherwise very clean and simple design. And I didn’t want to see it go to ‘waste’ 😉.

My second die cut for the day was the XOXO & More Die for the sentiments. I blended some Silver Sage Ink to create my own coloured cardstock for these sentiments.

BONUS TIP: Why not blend a light colour directly onto the front of the card before adding the cover die cut out? This would be beautiful in a light pink or green and give this card a totally new look.

  1. Thanks for your inspiration Therese. I had dismissed this die but as usual, you have created simple and beautiful results using it. Now I can invision some other ideas for cute springtime cards.

  2. These are beautiful cards! I love the pastel color scheme! The video was so informative. Thank you for sharing your process!!

  3. The soft colors are so beautiful on your cards, Therese, and that negative cover works great as a background.

  4. I may have been away for a while but I see during my absence you are still creating amazing pieces of art. Both are beautiful elegant and stylish just as you are. the soft colours and how clean and crisp they are really makes me happy.
