In today’s post, I’ll be sharing a set of 6 simple Mosaic Mood card ideas with a fun surprise inside!
In fact, it’s the surprise inside that really makes these cards special! Plus, all twelve of the designer paper patterns are showcased on these simple Mosaic Mood card ideas making it a great use of this gorgeous paper. Six of the designer paper patterns are shown on the front of these cards and the other six are shown on the inside.
I’m going to show you two cards at a time so that you’ll also be able to see the insides and you’ll be able to tell which outside corresponds with which inside without having to show 12 photos.
Here are the first two cards:
Here are the insides of these two cards. The one on the left below is the inside of the one that’s laying flat and on the left above. The one on the right below is the inside of the one on the right above.
So you can probably tell that I’ve created a hidden window on the inside of these cards using a rectangle stitched die.
The window allows the backside of the designer paper to show through on the inside. Plus, I’ve used the Very Vanilla die-cut piece as the backing for the sentiment on the front in most cases.
Now on each of these cards, there is one additional layer behind the designer paper. I die-cut a larger rectangle out of each of these colored pieces, to expose the back of the designer paper, through the Vanilla opening. Watch my video tutorial ahead to see how these are put together.
Here’s the second pair of cards:
Below are the insides of these two cards. The one on the left below is the inside of the one that’s laying flat and on the left above. The one on the right below is the inside of the one on the right above.
Now my favorite insides are on my last pair of cards.
I did add one extra Soft Suede layer behind my Very Vanilla focal piece on one of these. This Soft Suede die-cut rectangle piece was leftover after creating the inside window, to expose the designer paper on this card. It had to be die-cut anyway so there wasn’t any extra die-cutting required.
Here are the insides of these two cards. The one on the left below is the inside of the one that’s laying flat and on the left above. The one on the right below is the inside of the one on the right above.
I just love the hummingbird on this particular pattern of designer paper.
It’s got clear embossed elements which make it especially pretty!
Here’s a close up so you can see the shine and details better.
You should know that the Mosaic Mood Specialty designer series paper and the “Thank You” Die, used on today’s projects, are both retiring and currently discounted!
The paper is 60% off and the die is 40% off. These are only available while supplies last so don’t delay if you really want them!
