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 I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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.

Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!

April 5, 2021

This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.

I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them.

Save

This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips. I find the colors stunning together!

Save

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight. The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards.

These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.

The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.

~~~

Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time.

Save

The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last! the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!

Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

April 2, 2021
Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is.

We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting. What are your traditions for Easter?

I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

Save

On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out. I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

Other products used here:
- Word Wishes dies
- Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!)
- Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
- Tasteful Textile 3D folder
- Little Details embossing folders (retiring & on sale $3.20)
