HDS with a great 3 Panel from kits!

Creating handmade cards using the Stampin' Up! product line can be a delightful and rewarding experience. One popular design style is the three-panel card, which adds an extra layer of dimension and sophistication to your greeting cards. To begin, you will need a few essential supplies, including cardstock, patterned paper, stamps, ink pads, and embellishments like ribbons, sequins, or die cuts. Stampin' Up! offers various coordinating products, making it easy to match colors and themes for a cohesive look.

To create a three-panel card, start with a base cardstock cut to your desired size, typically 5.5 x 8.5 inches, and scored in half to form a standard A2 card. Next, cut three panels from your chosen patterned paper or coordinating cardstock. These panels can be of equal size, or you can vary their dimensions for an interesting visual effect. Often, the panels are arranged in a vertical or horizontal line, either centered or staggered across the card front. Adhere these panels to the card base using double-sided tape or glue, ensuring they are evenly spaced. OK

Once your panels are in place, it's time to add stamped images and sentiments. Select stamps that complement your theme, such as floral designs, birthday greetings, or holiday motifs. Use your ink pads to stamp these images onto the panels or onto separate cardstock pieces that can be layered onto the panels. For added flair, consider using embossing techniques or die-cut shapes. Finish off your card with embellishments like ribbon, glitter, or gems to add texture and interest. With a little creativity and the right supplies, your handmade three-panel card will be a beautiful and unique creation, perfect for any occasion.
