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 I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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.

I have never had a demonstrator join my team and regret it. They all love it as long as they stay active. Some people stay a while and others do not. I hope you stay awhile but if you don't, that's fine too. There is no pressure to continue once you decide to leave. You simply stop placing orders.

I have many people take advantage of this deal just to stock up on essentials or to get items on their long wishlist. Then when they're stocked up, they stop ordering. It's just that simple! No pressure to sell or hold events. Just enjoy the 20% discount while you can. Email me with any questions you have.

Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!

August 17, 2021
If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you. We made this striking card at a class this weekend. Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

Save

Details:
- The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
- The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here.
- The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting! See it here.
Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:
- Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
- Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.
- Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here. The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending.
- Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on.
- I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.
- I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.
