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 I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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!

Save

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".

Save

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.

Save

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.

Merry, Bold & Bright card kit to go; for both Christmas & Birthdays!

November 6, 2023
I chose the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper for one of my card kits this month because it's filled with fun, bright & colorful designs that can be used for Christmas, Birthdays or other celebrations. They're my theme for these colorful cards I created this month.

Save

Aren't they fun? Each one is a fun fold card that truly shows off the neat prints in the designer paper. I know they don't look like fun folds but they are!

As I usually do with my monthly kits to go I am including approximately $20 in product along with the pre-cut cards. You also have the option of getting the PDF tutorial only.

This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive. If you'd like to receive a pre-cut cards kit (with extra products to make more) each month click here. It's $28 plus shipping and they get bonus free products every few months.

This kit includes the following: Reserve yours here.
- 1/2 pkg of the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper (6" X 12)
- a share of Iridescent white ribbon
- a share of the Iridescent Adhesive-backed circles
- the pre-cut cards including punched and die-cut pieces
- the PDF tutorial (a $15 value)
The PDF tutorial is an option for those who have their own products. It's $15 and can be found here. It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list.
