The VIDEO Tutorial
I shared a slower version of this card design in one of my latest videos here.
In the Instagram reel and Youtube Short below, you will find speed versions of the cardmaking process.
I hope they’re good enough to understand the process.
- So as always, you can make this card in any size.
- This is a C6 card, standard American Size: 4-1/4″ x 5- 1/2″ inches.
- I trimmed four (4) stripes out of the front panel of the card base, using the Tim Holtz Mini Trimmer
- Each stripe measures 1″ inch.
- From these 4 stripes, we will only use 3 to create the sign slate shape.
- The top portion of the card base should measure about 1- 3/4″ inches.
- Now, we need to cut 1/4″ inches from one of the sides of the card base.
- So the card base will measure 4″ inches x 5-1/5″ inches at this stage.
- Next, we need to glue the stripes/panels as shown in the video.
- To keep the pieces together, I’m using 1/4″ inches pieces of cardstock.
One of them was cut from the card base side. - After glueing these pieces, you can trim their length.
- So the vertical pieces that hold the panels together measure 1/4″ inches width.
- While glueing the pieces in place, I’m not measuring anything. I just make sure the spaces look symmetric.
- Once the card base is done, I advise using die-cuts that provide stability to the paper.
- Glue them in a way that they also connect the paper stripes / sign slates/panels.

This is a total delight, Bibi! Love it! The spatters (or splatters?) really “make” the card, in my opinion.
Great work as always. Your talent continues to astound and impress me.
