New Split Front Cards for my Stash...

I have recently begun the huge task of using up some of the massive hoard of pretty  papers I have accumulated over the years.  As you might suspect the majority of the hoard is Heartfelt Creations but I opened a drawer yesterday and found a stack of Graphic 45 8" X 8" paper pads.  These two split front cards were made using the video you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7mK-szgV9o   by Patti Dolan.  I now have my pattern so I can now make these pretty cards whenever I want.  Both of the cards I'm sharing are using the Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments from long ago and far away.  

I have been following Leslie Miller at Running with Scissors for many years and she has been sharing this lovely design.   She sparked my interest with the beauty of her cards and of course I had to go in search from my own pattern to use myself.  Thank you Leslie!


I had two sheets of this paper...flowers on one side and dots on the other so I just cut enough to make two cards.  The florals are from Heartfelt Creations Summer Wreath Accents.  And here is my second card...


Both my cards lie flat for mailing with one stamp and this makes me very happy!  I hope I can inspire you to  use this design for making your cards as they are so easy and do pack a punch!

Wow, these look fabulous, Glenda! I love them both ways. Pretty, pretty paper. I like your circle feature. I mailed one of my split front cards this morning and I found it to be a snug fit in the envelope with the front panels popped up, so next time I'll leave them simply as layers. You've shown they look just as good. I'm glad to have given you the spark. We need to use that paper! I'm ready to make more!
