Save this template! 4 quick cards with the new Iconic Celebrations DSP. Video & free project sheet too

July 29, 2024

I have something brilliant to share with you today. How would you like to use two 6" sheets of DSP to make 8 easy but multi-layered cards? I used an easy template with simple measurements to create some fabulous cards. Here's one of my favorites:

And here are all of the blue cards in order left to right. My colors include Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Mossy Meadow & White.

Save

It starts out with two sheets of 6 X 6" DSP; in this case the new Iconic Celebrations from the Online Exclusives seen here. *Two sheets of 6" DSP will make 8 cards. You can opt to use just one sheet and not have any variation.

You'll cut each 6 X 6" designer paper piece into four 3" squares. Then cut three of those into a few pieces like this (one is left whole):

The photo above gives you the DSP AND layering cardstock measurement. You can find the other measurements for the supporting layers on my free project sheet.

Besides the Iconic Celebrations DSP, I used a few other new Online Exclusives products – the Everyday Greetings stamp set and the Greetings of the Season bundle seen here.

Click here or on the video below to watch how these cards are made. I share a second version in Cherry Cobbler & Mossy Meadow during the video.

On the project sheet it lists the products I used. The ribbons here are the Iridescent 1/2" striped trim and the Gold & Silver 1/8" trim combo pack from the Annual Catalog.

I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week. Here's a neat shaker card I made:

Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy! Watch the video below to see how it's done.

The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog. See it here. I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog. I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here.

Here's a close up of another:

Here are some details:
- The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle.
- The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
- The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
- I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
- The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper. Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.

The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

Grassy Grove dies make amazing cards quickly! Video too!

January 27, 2022

I was inspired to use the Grassy Grove bundle for a January card club project because of this card made by Deloris; one of my Flowerbug's Team members.

Save

See what I mean? It's striking & stunning! She used Blackberry Bliss and that background is the amazing New Horizon 6 X 6" DSP seen here. Her greeting is stamped on a stitched rectangle die-cut on Fresh Freesia CS.

Save

I changed the colors but still kept the large die-cut and the pretty paper the star of the card.

Save

The die-cut is Black, cut at 5 1/8" X 3 7/8". The New Horizons paper is cut just a hair smaller. We simply added two of the deer in the Grassy Grove dies and a greeting on an Oval punched piece.

Scroll down to see the video I made or click here.

The card bases were either Soft Succulent or Misty Moonlight as that coordinated with most of the designer paper scenes.
Save

Here is what the inside looks like. We stamped the trees in the Grassy Grove stamp set in Black and added a greeting. This greeting is part of the Special Moments stamp set seen here (free during our Sale-a-Bration promo now)

Save

Here are three of the cards all together. See how the New Horizons designer paper can change the background scene so easily? Everyone thought these made perfect masculine cards and sympathy cards as well.

Below is the quick video; click on the photo to watch it.

Fast but fabulous Flowing Flowers card kit to go with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template

January 26, 2022
I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live. I used the Flowing Flowers stamp set in a unique set of colors.

This stamp set was one of my top picks in the Spring catalog. Not just because it's flowers, but because of the Distinktive images and pretty greetings. Look!

Save

Here's a link to the live video where I made a totally different set of cards using the same OSW template. I created it a few years ago and love trying it with different stamp sets. I find it's a fabulous way to get beautiful cards made quickly without a lot of measuring.

**Did you know that my Team members get all of my tutorials free? They receive every single one I make – at least 3-5 a month! We met on Sunday night via Zoom and many of us used the Easy 8 Card Wonder to make our cards. So fun to visit while we stamped!! Ask me about the Starter Kit deal & joining my Flowerbug's Team.

Here is the 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of basic White card stock that I stamped using the images in the Flowing Flowers stamp set.

Save

I did do a little 'surgery' on one of the stamps (seen the flower in the first photo above). I cut the leaves and the spatter part away from the main flower so I could stamp them in different colors. I know I'll use this stamp so much more this way. I used our Paper Snips to do it. I encourage you to try this on your stamps; it's scary but so worth it!

Here is one of the cards made with my template. *These three pieces were cut on the printed lines on the reverse side. No measuring!!

The Kit to go includes:
- the Flowing Flowers 9 piece stamp set
- a printed template on 8 1/2" X 11" Basic White CS

- the free PDF tutorial sent in an email
- You will need your own ink (I used Navy, Daffodil, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana), adhesives & gems.
Save

You can see the video here where I show how the template is used. I created a different group of cards using this Easy 8 Card Wonder template.
