This week I have been playing around with the Stampin’ Up! All Squared Away Bundle. The floral square dies can really be used with any patterned papers or card stock colors you have on hand. There are so many fun ways to decorate them; however, today I will focus on 3 different ways you can use them in your card making.
Simple Designs
One of the easiest ways to use the dies from the All Squared Away Bundle is to simply adhere them to some colorful patterned paper. The cards feature different colors and patterns from the 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper. Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia are such bright and cheerful colors to use for these cards. For more fun card ideas featuring the 2021-2023 Stampin’ Up! In Color Collection, check out my latest post HERE.
The card designs have similar measurements but notice how the orientation is different. You can completely change the look of the card simply by creating it in portrait style and then landscape style. The cool thing about changing the orientation is you can keep the same measurements! For these two cards, I actually changed the measurements just slightly simply because I added more layers to the polished pink card. You can get all of the details in the tutorial below.
Decorating the Squares
The last two cards feature the same layout but the supplies used behind the floral square dies are very different. The first card features the use of 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 inch square pieces of patterned paper. Yes, you can simply adhere small pieces of DSP behind the die cut shapes to create a fun look!
The second card idea showcases the exact same layout except this time I adhered the die cut shapes over some stamped images. The All Squared Away stamp set has four square stamps each with a different design. They look amazing behind the die cut shapes. Be sure to watch this week’s video to learn how to create a template to use for stamping these square images.
