6 Quite Curvy Card Ideas – Flowers and Fields DSP

I’m having another one of those quite curvy card making kind of days! Yes, today I have some unique and beautiful card ideas to share featuring a fun NEW bundle which will be in the NEW Stampin’ Up! January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. And the best part is…this bundle is available NOW as an early release. It’s the perfect little bundle to create some unique designs. Plus this bundle coordinates with the Curvy Christmas stamp set which I featured last month. You can check out all of the quick and simple Christmas designs HERE.

Creating the Design

The quite curvy designs are super fun and simple to use. There are two different curvy designs you can create using cardstock or patterned paper. The cards I am featuring today showcase the NEW Flowers and Field Designer Series Paper pack. This DSP is one of the free Sale-A-Bration product offerings which will start January 5, 2021 but I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peek now.

There are a variety of different ways you can use the quite curvy dies. However, I do have a few tips to help you get the most out of these dies and your card making. First, I recommend cutting your cardstock or patterned paper to the size you want to use on your card BEFORE you cut the paper with the die. So for example, to create these cards I began with either a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 inch or a 5-/4 x 4 inch piece of patterned paper. Once I cut the paper to size, I simply laid the die directly down the center of the paper to cut it.

As you can see, the quite curvy die creates two curvy pieces. One side of the die makes a regular cut while the other side of the die creates a fun pattern. So you can basically create two curvy cards simply by cutting one piece of paper in half using the die. Once you have the curvy sections created, lay them on top of another piece of patterned paper. Then simply decorate them as desired.

Quite Curvy Layers

Now for my second tip! You can use ANY width of patterned paper or cardstock with the Quite Curvy dies. The smaller the pieces you cut, the more curvy layers you can create! Again, I recommend cutting the paper to the length you desire. The last three cards feature a piece of patterned paper cut to a 5-1/2 inch length so that it runs completely across the card front. The width of the papers differ in size. Some are 2 x 5-1/2 inches while others are 3 x 5-1/2 inches. I cut all of the curvy pieces and then played around with the different pieces to create the layers on the cards.

There are so many card making possibilities with these Quite Curvy dies! However, I found the key to using the dies is simply to cut some different size pieces of paper. Once you have different size papers, then use the dies to cut them in half. Of course the curvy fun doesn’t stop with this set! You can also create curvy accents or use the curvy sentiments in the set to decorate your cards.
