4-Card Wonder – free PDF tutorial, template, measurements & video!

Before we get to the projects today I want to share the sale Stampin' Up! just announced:

24 HOUR STAMP SALE Save

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  I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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!  

Beautiful Balloons cards 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".

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. 

Beautiful Balloons all 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.

  • Dressed to Impress Best Dressed Triple Fold card

    The retired list will be out this afternoon.

    Stop back in to see it or click here to see it all in my store.

    Here's the Best Dressed fun fold card I promised you yesterday.  (See the Ornate Garden cards here.) 

    Best dressed fun fold both Save

    Look at this cute fun fold card!  See how the paper matches up across the three panels?  So clever! **Watch the video here on Facebook. 

    This card is standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" but you score it at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4" to get the triple fold. 

    Best Dressed fun fold Save

    The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut the Best Dressed paper into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

    Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4". 

    Best Dressed fun fold 2a Save

    I added a pretty die-cut border cut from the Ornate Borders die; love the eyelet detail on it!  The set of dies are currently unavailable but should be back in stock in early May.
    The greeting layers are cut using the Stitched Nested Labels and the flowers and leaves are stamped and fussy cut. The colors are Old Olive and Purple Posy. 

    The stamps are all from the Dressed to Impress stamp set seen here. 


    Best Dressed fun fold 2a Save

    The die-cuts here are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies from the mini catalog; also currently out of stock and unavailable.  They should be back in next week. The colors here are Lovely Lipstick and Mint Macaron.

  • Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea

    I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.)  I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper.  I'll share those tomorrow. 

    Ornate Garden Fun Fold cards Save

    They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it.  It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

    The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

    Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! 

    The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".  I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!) 

    Here's a close up view of the greeting.  It looks like I heat embossed it right?

    I didn't but it is sparkly!  I used the Wink of Stella pen!  It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do. 

    You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.  

    Ornate Garden Fun Fold Terracotta Save

    This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors.  I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.

    I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too.  You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too.  See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon?  It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive.  Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons!

    The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.
