4-Card Wonder – free PDF tutorial, template, measurements & video!

July 18, 2023

Before we get to the projects today I want to share the sale Stampin' Up! just announced:

Check over your wish list and see how many stamp sets are on it. Might be a good time to place an order. With the Bonus Days happening you can double dip!

Plus the Trucking Along bundle is back in stock! See it here; get it while you can.

I'm extremely excited & proud to share this project with you. If you know me well, you know I love to create one sheet wonders. I've made quite a few over the last 10 years or so. I'm so lucky that my husband is willing to create the templates for me; I'm not sure I'd love them as much without his help!

I'm calling this project a 4-Card Wonder because it creates 4 cards. I originally made this for a Team meeting project. I wanted it to be quick, create multiple cards and of course be easy and cute!

I shared this project & template on my weekly Live video but did record it and it's now on my YouTube channel as well. Scroll down to see the video.

Here's the template – it's meant for a 1/2 sheet of card stock – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2".

Grab your favorite colors of ink and stamp your own background. Then cut it up using the measurements above! It's so fun to create your own stamped paper. It's a bit addictive!

*Tip – choose stamps that include large & small images. When stamping your paper start with the largest stamps first and finish with the smallest; filling in any empty areas.

I chose the Beautiful Balloons bundle. My colors include Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Parakeet Party.

I kept the cards quite simple but you could sure jazz them up a bit more. Make the cards like mine or this can be a starting point for your creative process.

You can watch the video on this project here. It's the first project. Or click on the photo down below to watch it below. *Remember to follow me on either my FB page here (Tuesday Live videos) or my YouTube channel here.

Here's the full PDF tutorial for you. Download it here.

I shared a walk through video of our new 2024-25 Annual Catalog on last week's Live video. If you missed it here's the link to watch it.

This new catalog is quite different than we're used to. I cover the reason's why they changed it and share lots of tips on how to navigate it. You'll also learn ways to find the items you're looking for.

I've had requests to share how I added tabs to my catalog. I prefer to use the removable tabs you can get in an office or big box store.

Here's a peek at mine:

- Page 17 – Mix & Match
- Page 21 – Sketches

- Page 57 – Bundles
- Page 73 – Encore
- Page 111 – Ribbon

Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a neat masking effect

May 17, 2024
What do you think of this monochromatic card?

Save

The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here.

Products used:
- Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
- Country Woods designer paper
- So Swirly embossing folder seen here
- Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
- Unbounded Love stamp set
I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder. I love the effect!

Unbounded Beauty card; an easy layout you’ll love to copy!

May 16, 2024
I created this card for my free project tutorial this month – it features the Unbounded Beauty suite. This tutorial is free to everyone who orders from me online.

Save

My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper. The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here.

The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.

Measurements:
- card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
- Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
- White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut
If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go. It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping. See it here.
