Fourteen cards from twelve sheets of paper!
After some test calculations and practice runs, I found a way to create the narrow strips quite efficiently from the 8.5x11 Text Weight Print. In fact, I made a few extra strips and incorporated them into additional card designs.
Let's get started with the paper trimming for all of the cards. I did something a little different this month and created a handy printable for your cutting instructions.

The leaf on each card was stamped on a hidden area of the nesting panels and then trimmed out with a detail scissors.
Each leaf is slightly folded on the center vein and adhered with a Glue Line.
Stamp the sentiment for each card onto the plain side of the 1x4.25" Ivory Text Weight Prints.
That's GOT to be the coolest charm I've seen in a long time. We've included four of them in your Club Stamp kit. It's nice and flat, so you should be able to bypass the postage upcharge for non-machinable mail. The charm fits perfectly within the stamped frame.
The ribbon in this collection is stunning. It's very soft, thin and flexible and wide enough to play a major role in several neat cards.
The paper strip fits right on top of the sheer area of the ribbon.
Arrange the leftover 3/4" paper strips onto the Brown and Blue card base and finish with a Red strip stamped with a sentiment.
I hope you find the monthly card-making instructions helpful!
