Three Cards from ONE Piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper

Making three cards from one piece o 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) was a fun and fulfilling challenge that I met last night.

I did go a bit ‘rogue’ with the DSP by adding little “squirly” circles around each circle. You’ll see them on my finished card. The DSP originally looked like this:

For starters, select your piece of 6″ x 6″ DSP. Cut one 2″ strip from this piece. Cut off 1-1/4″ from one narrow end. Cut the remaining 4″ x 6″ piece at 3″…..leaving you with TWO pieces 4″ x 3″.
