Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing Autumnal projects. I am using the All About Autumn designer series paper to make 3 cards using Stack, Cut & Shuffle Technique. I saw this technique recently on YouTube in a video shared by Stamping Treasure and loved it.

Colours featured in these cards are:

To recreate the stack, cut & shuffle cards, you will need:

3 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛ – I chose Moody Mauve, Copper Clay & Cajun Craze
Very Vanilla card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 3
All About Autumn dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – 3 co-ordinating pieces
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” = for the insides
Scrap Very Vanilla

I stacked the 3 panels of All About Autumn dsp one on top of the other, took them to my Paper Trimmer and cut them into 3.

The pieces of dsp were sorted, one for each card, into piles and glued them one at a time onto the 5⅝” by 3⅞” pieces of Very Vanilla card leaving a small border.
