Seeing Double... Double Vision Cards, the New In Thing!

I'm not usually one for jumping on the bandwagon with new techniques, but when we made some cards at the May Team Meeting using the Double Vision technique, I had to try some more.

They work perfectly for me and my style of card making. Simple and easy to make, and they look very effective. Plus you get to use all the lovely Designer Series Paper (DSP) you have been hoarding for a long time. I used the new Velvet Meadow which has a flocked texture that is just lovely.

Most of the dimensions I found online were for US sized cards which use inches more than centimetres, so  that's what I used for mine, albeit slightly smaller measurements because it meant I could get more than one card out of one piece of A4 cardstock.

We made this card at Card Café this week and I've made others since then because I am really on a roll with this technique. I do hope you get round to trying it out, as it is so simple to use. All of the products are available from my Stampin' Up! shop, and you can find links to them from My Projects.

This is what you will need to make this card:

• Darling Duckling Cardstock 8 x 5 ½ in
• Cloud Cover Cardstock 3 ¾ x 5 ¼ in
• Basic White Cardstock 3 ½ x 5 in
• Versafine Onyx Black Ink
• Velvet Meadow Designer Series Paper 3 ½ x 5 in
• White card ½ x 2 ¼ in
• Darling Duckling card ⅝ x 2 ½ in
• Small Sentiment - this one is from the retired Charming Duck Pond set but the size was perfect!
• Embellishments (optional)

1. Score and fold your Darling Duckling cardbase at 4 in 
2. Glue your Cloud Cover panel on top
3. Cut your DSP into ½ inch strips, keeping them in order
4. Glue the first of your strips onto the 3 ½ x 5 inch white card panel. Place the next strip beside it, but don’t glue down. Glue the third strip next to the second. Repeat the process until the 1^st, 3^rd, 5^th and 7^th are all glued down.
5. Using foam pads attach the 2^nd, 4^th and 6^th strips in between the glued pieces.
6. Attach this panel to your card on top of the Cloud Cover panel.
7. Stamp the sentiment onto your strip of white card and then attach to the Darling Duckling Strip. Glue onto the raised strips.
8. Add some embellishments.

Jumping on the bandwagon may not be such a bad thing after all!
