How to build up your card stash quickly using the Stack, Cut & Shuffle Technique

You may have heard of One Sheet Wonders where you can create a group of cards from one sheet of DSP. The latest version of this is the Stack, Cut & Shuffle Technique. For this technique you use three sheets of 6″ x 6″ DSP and create three different cards.

Tips:

  • For the first two sets of cards, the DSP has been layered directly onto the card base. In the third set, the DSP has been layered onto another layer before being attached to the card base. In the fourth set, there is a mix.
  • The idea is to cut three pieces of DSP to 10cm x 14.3cm / 4″ x 5¼”, stack the three pieces together, cut and shuffle. Cut the DSP down to 9.5cm x 13.8cm / 3¾” x 5″ if layering on another piece as in sets three and four.
  • For the first two sets of cards, cut on the diagonal through all three from somewhere along the top right to somewhere along the lower left. Put those pieces to one side and then cut from somewhere in the middle to somewhere on the lower right. Shuffle the pieces so that you have one of each pattern for each card.
  • For the second two sets, I cut the opposite – cut on the diagonal through all three from somewhere along the top left to somewhere along the lower right. Put those pieces to one side and then cut from somewhere in the middle to somewhere on the lower left. Shuffle the pieces so that you have one of each pattern for each card.
  • There are no right or wrong angles – you can get a different look for each set just by varying where you cut.
  • Use the scraps to decorate the inside and envelope.
  • For sets three and four I used a piece of embossed Basic White for the third piece of DSP.
