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 I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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.

July 30, 2020
This cute card starts out as a standard A2 card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Adding just one extra score line creates this interactive, unique card!

I used the Pampered Pets stamp set and the Playful Pets designer paper. I colored the critters in with Blends markers and added a Playful Pets trinket with the Playful Pets trim and a glue dot. Sooo cute!

The scalloped White layer is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Real Red greeting is 1" X 4" and punched with the Lovely Labels PIck a Punch on both ends. Note the two different ends shown above.

The Happy Birthday greeting inside the left card is from the Best Year stamp set.

Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.

First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.

Save

She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade. The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible! I love the touch of vellum she added.

Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set. This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch.

Save

Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive. She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set.

Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card.

Save

The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.

Flowers for Every Season & more!

July 28, 2020

Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors.

First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

Save

Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly.

Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also.

Save

What a fun layout! Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer? That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder. The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.

Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane. She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.

Save

The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings. Love these delicate dies!

Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better? They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully. It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
