Easy Paper Piecing & Partial Die-Cutting Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today we will be creating a pretty flap card using a few simple techniques, including some easy paper piecing and some simple partial die-cutting. This will be a fun card especially for those of you who don’t love coloring!

We will begin by creating the card base, which will be a top folding A2 size card. Next, we will partially die cut the bottom of a scalloped heart. The heart die is from the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721) Set. I will show you exactly how to do this in today’s video! Once we have die-cut the bottom of the scalloped heart we will need to use our paper trimmer to cut away the excess cardstock from both sides of the card. This will create the look of a flap!

Now we can die cut another scalloped heart in Raspberry cardstock. Let’s also grab the next largest heart die from this set and die cut this from some Ballet Slipper and white cardstock.

We can layer the raspberry and ballet slipper hearts together and now we will stamp the teacup from the Ai Tea Time Set (6024). Let’s stamp this 3X so that we can do some simple paper piecing. For all of the pattern papers on this card, we will be using the Ai Valentine’s Paper Pack (5741). Again, I will show you how to do this simple technique in the video!

Now that the teacup is done, we can pop it up onto the two hearts that have been glued together. We can now tie some Dusty Rose Twine around the bottom of the heart and tie a bow. Let’s also add some pretty dots around the two hearts using a white gel pen.

Now we will cut the layers for the inside and outside of the card. I selected a nice gingham plaid for the inside and a pretty coordinating floral for the outside. Let’s also quickly stamp a sentiment onto the card front. I am creating a thank you card …. but this design would be perfect for Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, or even a friendship card!

Now we can finish assembling the card, making sure to line the scalloped heart up with the partially die cut scalloped heart on the card front.

I added the extra white heart to the inside of the card. I left mine blank, but you could certainly add another sentiment here or write a sweet note!

For a finishing touch, we can add some pretty pink sequins for a bit of sparkle!

Scalloped Oval Fun Flap Card!

July 23, 2025 July 22, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Birthday Card, Flap Card No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create a super fun Scalloped Oval Flap Birthday Card using the Ai Birthday Cake Set (5255). This set has lots of different cakes, a candle, and cupcake! This card was inspired by the current Ai “Let them eat cake” Blog Challenge which is to have some fun using a cake or cupcake on your card or project!

We will start by building the card base and layers for this card. I started with the card base to show you how this card design could be used for any of your images and can be easily changed into a holiday, birthday, or special occasion card by just changing out your patterned papers. We will be using the Ai Mother’s Day Paper Pack (6051) which is absolutely beautiful and will give us a festive, yet feminine look to our card.

I’ll show you exactly how to create the card base and layers in todays video! We will be using the brand-new Ai Scalloped Oval Die Set for the flap design. You will love this 9 piece oval die set. The largest oval has a detailed scallop look to it!

Once the card base and ovals have been assembled onto the card base, we can stamp our cake onto some smooth white cardstock and color it with our Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Pale Yellow, Orange, Pale Green, Lt Green, English Lavender, Violet, Lt Gray.

We can die cut this with the coordinating die and pop it up onto the center oval for some added dimension.

We can now die-cut another oval for the inside of the card using the sentiment that says, “Birthday Wishes Coming Your Way!” from the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735). I’ll show you a little trick for lining this up perfectly behind the ovals on the front of the card in today’s video. Let’s stamp a few candles from this same set and attach them around the sentiment.

Next, let’s add a bit of sparkle using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen and a few lavender gems! As a finishing touch, we can add some lavender iridescent ribbon and tie a pretty bow!

Please join us in this new blog challenge …. we would love to see what you create!
