Making a Center Panel Card

August 11, 2024
by Susan Beale

11 Aug

Today I want to share with you this Center Panel card I made recently. I used the 2024-2025 In color Summer Splash as my card base and the lovely Unbounded Beauty Designer Series paper on the card front. I die cut the butterflies from the Sketched Butterfly bundle and used the stamps from the same set for my sentiments.

To make this card

  • I started with a card base of 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored it at 5 1/2″ on the 11″ side. I then cut one side at 1 1/2″ and moved my base over to the 2 1/2″ mark and cut it again. These two pieces make up the bottom and middle pieces of the card. I then folded and burnished my card base
  • Once I matted the designer series paper to the two cut pieces, I added another piece to the top part of the card.
  • I lined up the bottom piece so it’s lined up with the bottom of the card, then positioned the middle piece in the centre of the top and bottom pieces. I then glued them together.
  • I added a piece of Basic white to the front and stamped my greeting.
  • For the inside, I stamped my sentiment so it is hidden behind the flap so you don’t see it when the card is closed.
  • I then added the die cut butterflies to the front so it fits around the stamped sentiment.

If you’re looking for a fun and simple creative outlet paper crafting might be your best option! It’s fun, creative, and handmade projects bring joy to you and to others. And nothing makes paper crafting as fun, easy, and creative as Paper Pumpkin!  They make great gifts too! Below are some great reasons to become a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED CAN BE FOUND IN EACH CRAFT BOX

One issue crafters often run into is feeling overwhelmed by their project. Lack of inspiration, proper supplies and crafty know-how might discourage you from even starting a project and unlocking your creative potential!

This never happens with a craft subscription box from Paper Pumpkin. That’s because everything you need for your project is included in your monthly art box. All you have to do is open it up and get started. You’ll be able to make cards, treat bags, gift boxes and so much more with your monthly art box subscription. 

YOU CAN BUILD YOUR STAMP COLLECTION

Among the items in each Paper Pumpkin monthly craft kit is a reusable rubber stamp. So after you’re done creating your monthly craft, you’ll have a valuable stamp to add to your collection. You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well. 

PRINT & VIDEO INSTRUCTION MAKE CRAFTING EASY

Even the craftiest among us worry that we’ll have trouble understanding how to do a project, or that we’ll make a mistake. You never have to worry about that with Paper Pumpkin! That’s because not only does each monthly arts and crafts box come with clear, easy-to-understand printed instructions, but we also upload a video to YouTube so you can watch a professional guide you through the craft. 

KIDS CAN HELP WITH MONTHLY CRAFT KITS

Although Paper Pumpkin makes craft boxes for adults, they can be fun for the whole family! Use your monthly craft box subscription to introduce your kids to a fun and creative outlet. It’s truly a gift to instill a love of crafting and creativity in kids. You’ll be thrilled to see how their skills grow over time. One day your kids might have their own monthly craft subscription box!

READY TO GIVE IT A TRY?

You can become a monthly subscriber and receive your craft box every month. It will be like receiving a present and I promise you, you will be looking forward to seeing what each monthly box contains.

The best part is if you get really busy one month with other commitments, you can suspend one month and resume the following month.

There is NO PENALTY to suspend or cancel your subscription.
