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 I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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".

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.

These are the last few swaps for our June swap theme of 'using designer paper' on a card.

Annette created this one with the Earthen Elegance designer paper and Nature's Prints stamp set.

It's gorgeous in our new Pecan Pie color with Very Vanilla. There's just something about monochromatic cards!

- Vanilla 2 1/2" X 4" and 4" X 5 1/4"
- Designer paper 2" X 5 1/4"
Next is Paula's card; it's a fun fold card featuring the Inked Botanicals designer paper. It's another monochromatic card! She folded back her front card base to show off the designer paper on the inside.

Save

She used the Darling Details bundle for her greeting, flowers & leaves. The greeting die-cut is made with the new Nested Essentials dies.

Measurements:
- Lost Lagoon card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4"

Designer Paper swap card ideas by my Team

June 23, 2023

I have more Team swaps to share with you today. Our theme for June was to feature designer series paper.

*Remember our designer papers are all discounted in June! It's a great time to grab the packs you want. *see them all here

First up is a gorgeous card made by Ginny featuring the Masterfully Made DSP seen here.

Save
She also used the coordinating bundle called Gorgeously Made seen here. Her colors include Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Bubble Bath and a bit of vellum. The greeting, leaves and torn notebook edge are all dies in this bundle.

Next is a pretty birthday card made by Sharon. She featured the Bright & Beautiful DSP seen here.

Save

She also used the Gold Celebrations 12 X 12 specialty paper too. See the confetti gold acetone on the blue balloon? She also added a few dies and embossing folders as well. Natural Prints dies for the greeting and the Countryside Corners dies for the Misty Moonlight & Berry Burst die-cuts, the Basics 3D (online exclusive) and Cane Weave 3D folders

I'll share the rest of this month's swaps tomorrow.

Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team

June 22, 2023
Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.

This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.

Save
It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not! It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side!

Measurements are as follows:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
- Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right. *same on the inside
Save

It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base. So cool and smart! I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.

She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here. If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.

She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.

Save

Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?) She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker!

Save

It's a 'book-binding' card fold. Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.

Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.

The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!
