In case you missed it I've uploaded the video for my easy template for 6 X 6" designer paper to make three cards quickly! I also have a project sheet that includes the template, directions, additional measurements and more.
You can use any piece of 6 X 6" designer paper you'd like! Let the colors in your paper help you decide on the card bases and accent colors and embellishments. It's really fun to make cards when you have this easy guide.
Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black & Granny Apple Green.
She said she cased it from Tammy White. The card base is all one piece. It's called a side-step card and here is a linkto a tutorial I wrote years ago. She used the Scary Silhouette dies for the left side and the Bewitching stamp set for the hat & boots on the right.
The hat & boots are popped up on the steps with thin strips of window sheets. There is white glimmer paper behind the die-cuts on the front. I love the say she achieved the silhouette under the Black layer. She did this by snipping the green die-cut in half on the sides and moving it down from the top and up from the bottom.
I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler. My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".
Here is the main template that you stamp on. It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts. I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time. Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock.
In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above. I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting. If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting.
Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece. In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste! Love that!
The Gorgeous Leaves of Holly bundle is not just for Christmas!
The Leaves of Holly bundle is back! It was unavailable for awhile but it's back in stock now.
I made this pretty card for last month's Flowerbug's Team swap. The theme was Fall or Halloween. I wanted to show that this bundle isn't just for Christmas. What do you think?
I used Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and a bit of Old Olive here. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments set seen here.
After I stamped the card panel I felt it was a bit busy so I added a layer of Vellum card stock over it. I love the soft feel that the vellum gives!
Here's a peek at the Leaves of Holly bundle. It's full of pretty images and wonderful dies. The greeting die-cut with the leaves attached is my very favorite; see it on the bottom left below. See it in my store here.
