While in Raleigh, North Carolina, for Stampin’ Up!’s annual demonstrator gathering, I received a host of really fun swap cards. See that video by clicking here.
I really love a card I received from Cindy Westerink of Michigan. It uses a cutting technique I haven’t tried before. Today, I want to share that with you.
Here’s a look at Cindy’s card. She uses the awesome new Botanical Textures Suite Collection.
You can use this angle cut with a variety of patterned papers, card stock, rubber stamps, and dies. And, this technique helps you create three quick and easy cards. In addition, it shows off your pretty patterned paper and encourages you use your stash!
Measurements and Directions
Old Olive card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Daffodil Delight card stock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Three pieces of coordinating Designer Series Paper measuring 4 7/8 x 3 7/8. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. Be sure to watch the video below to see how I measured the paper to make the cuts.
Stamp the sentiment from Kindest Expressions stamp set onto a die cut circle from Stylish Shapes Dies with Daffodil Delight ink
Layer on a circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies cut from Old Olive.
Add coordinating ribbon and gems.
Here’s a picture of the three cards created with this angle cut card technique.

From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I offer step-by-step instructions for creating these angle cut card samples.
I enjoyed playing around with different patterned papers to see which ones worked best together. I hope you give this a try. Please let me know if you have questions about today’s DIY paper crafting project. I’d love to help.

I just returned from Raleigh, North Carolina, where I attended Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event, an annual gathering designed for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. We received a copy of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog (available for ordering May 6), saw stamping presentations, celebrated achievements, stamped a little, and gathered with friends from throughout the United States.
We also swapped our handmade greeting cards. I made 25 for an event and received 25 in return. Watch this video to see the cards I received.
Today, I share the card I created for the swap. This card features Stampin’ Up!’s Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set. Find it as one of the Online Exclusives.
