Transforming a Monstera Leaf Die Into Two Cards

Hi friends! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Heather Hoffman to our blog who’s sharing a fun way to use our large Monstera Leaf die to make two cards using both the positive and negative space of the die cut! Read on and enjoy!

Hello! When it comes to card making, I love creating sets of cards. After all, if I’m already putting in the effort, it’s often just as easy to make two or three cards as it is to make one! I also absolutely adore designs that give me a “two-for-one” bonus – especially when it helps ensure no leftover pieces go to waste. These cards were a delightful way to combine both of those things!


By die cutting the Monstera leaf in the center of my white cardstock panel, I could use the main image on one card and the negative space to create a shaker card. For these particular cards, I opted to skip the coordinating stencils and used the simple outline image instead. I chose some Memory Box plaid pattern paper for both cards – the monochromatic plaid offers a perfect subtle pattern that doesn’t distract from the sentiments and images but adds more interest than solid cardstock.


The sentiments on both cards were created with the Happy Combos stamp and die set, and I stamped them in coordinating Cabbage and Artichoke inks. To keep the small sentiments nice, crisp, and clear, I stamped them in black ink. I filled the shaker card with shimmery seed beads and added a few Dazzling Gems in Sprout to the other card for a touch of sparkle. Finally, I tied some Rose Gold cord around that card, securing it at the bottom of the leaf for an extra decorative touch!

I love that these cards also have a masculine feel – so are super versatile and could be changed just by adjusting the colors!
