3 sets of quick Stack & Cute cards; with video & template!


One week ago I shared my Stack & Cut cards in a FB live video.  I couldn't stop at one set since they're so quick & easy.  I made 3 different sets of cards!  Click here to watch the video. 

Follow me on FB here; so you can watch my weekly videos. 

This first set features the Hues of Happiness designer paper from the upcoming new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  It goes live tomorrow and you can all start ordering (collecting) new products!  

The card bases are Pool Party and the large layer is Highland Heather.  I used a variety of circle dies for the main greeting.  The stitched banners are from a new set of dies called Stylish Shapes; it's filled with stitched circles, squares and banners.  

Here's the template I used for the 'Stack & Cut' pieces.  Choose 4 sheets of DSP and cut two at once.  They're layered on a 4" X 5 1/4" piece then added to your main card base.  So quick & easy and it uses up that Designer Paper you're hoarding!  

The 2nd set of cards features the Tea Boutique designer paper.  It's a 6 X 6" stack filled with all of the new In Colors!  The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set.  

The colors include Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky.  

Here are all of them in one photo.  If you make a set of these cards please share them here in my FB group by May 8th to get in on Prize Patrol for a free embellishment.  I'd love to see YOUR version of these neat cards.  

And lastly here is the first set I made with the Heart & Home DSP from the January-June catalog. This paper is filled with soft prints and a variety of whitewashed wood on each sheet.  The colors include Pale Papaya, Garden Green White & Smoky Slate.  The greetings are from the Blessings of Home bundle; which is carrying over into the new Annual Catalog.

  • Check out these projects featuring Clearance Rack deals


    There are quite a few amazing deals on the Clearance Rack now and I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorites:

    I am surprised that the stamp set and dies are both there along with the pretty Soft Seafoam ribbon and the Open Leaf Trinkets. *Both are now just $1.25! Click on the blue highlighted words to see these items in the Clearance Rack.

    Next is the Leaves of Holly stamp set.  It was $22 and is now just $15.25 on clearance. 

    I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.  

    I call it the 5 at a time technique.  You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below.  And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts!  *Watch the video below or click here. 


    See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above?  Next I cut it using the template below: 

    The first template is what you stamp on.  The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.  

    Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.  


    Watch the video below to see how it's done.  Think about your favorite stamp sets and how fast you can create beautiful cards using these templates!

  • Pinwheel Tower Fancy Fold card with video & free projects sheet!


    Here's another card we made at my July Card Clubs.  I always try to feature one fun fold card and this was a doozy!  

    When they saw the many pieces they were a bit worried it would be hard.  But as we made it together they loved it!  Be sure to watch the video here or below; it's so much easier than it looks!  

    This card is super fun to play with; it reminds me of a 'never ending' card.  You can turn and turn it and see something new each time. But the finished card lays flat and is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" so it fits nicely in an envelope.  

    Besides the Gorgeously Made stamp set (seen here) I chose the Layering Leaves (seen here) for the pretty greetings and leaf images. 

    I chose to feature the Countryside Inn designer series paper seen here with it's many shades of Blue.  I chose to use Night of Navy and White card stock, Navy and Boho Blue inks. 

    You can find the measurement, photos, directions and supplies list here on this free project sheet. Download July 23 Pinwheel Tower card

    Each of the 4 panels of Navy card stock is adhered to the center 'tower' made from a 4 1/4" square of designer paper. Once you have your card base created it's simple to add the 6 pieces of DSP and your stamped panels. 

    I also used the Radiating Stitches dies seen here (online exclusive) and the Stylish Shapes dies for the greeting.  The ribbon is the Night of Navy 3/8" bordered ribbon.

  • Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial


    I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week.  I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle.  Check out the background! 

    I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

    1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
    2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
    3. Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!  

    I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.  

    I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.  

    The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings. 

    There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues.  If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues.  Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.  

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video.  It's the first project featured; the other is a super fun 'fancy fold' card.
