Ever get tired of folding your card stock in half and calling it a card? Here’s a fun way to make a creative use of your card edges for a little extra visual effect.
Creative Card Edging Tutorial:
- Fold basic card stock in half.
- Trim away 3/4″ or more from the front card edge.
- Apply ribbon, Designer Series Paper or stamp images on the inside of the card. Position so that the decoration peeks through to the front of the card when closed.
- Add another decorative element by attaching a punched border to the back side of the card front as shown.

Thanks Meg for the reminder about how much fun and pop factor this idea gives a card. Especially like the way it steps up a one layer card. The new rotary trimmer with it’s cool edging blades will really add to the fun too and quicker than a punch. Once I wrap my head around the idea that it’s okay to cut away the card front the ideas start flowing. Funny how cutting away a strip seems like mutilating the canvas when die cutting a window feels like adding something. {grin} Thanks again for sharing. I get so many good ideas from your blog. Keep them coming please!
