5 beautiful cards the easy way; with my ‘5 at a time’ templates!


Check out these gorgeous cards made with my 5 at a time templates!

Aren’t they pretty? I chose this stamp set because of the pretty floral images. And I knew they’d make an easy, beautiful background. My colors include Hydrangea Hue, Peaceful Pine and Golden Glow.

My 5 at a time templates make creating 5 cards so effortlessly! This first template is what I used for my White stamped layer.

Vertically, make the first cut from an 8 1/2″ X 11″ White CS at 4 3/4″. Then cut 3 pieces from the left section at 3 1/2″. Now cut the other piece at 3 1/2″ wide and cut that into two pieces at 4 3/4″. Save the bottom piece for a greeting layer.

This next template is for the colored layer under the White stamped pieces. It’s just an 1/8″ larger than the White layers.

Cut in the same manner as the one above; starting vertically at 4 7/8″. Please watch the video here, or below to see how it’s done.

I cut 5 card bases for these stamped layers and you can see how I stamped the insides of some above. I love stamping backgrounds; our stamp images are fantastic! And this set has that distinktive feel to the images which gives multiple hues of colors when stamping.

It’s actually in a bundle with the amazing Tile Garden dies. See the stamp set here and the bundle here.

I created a free project sheet for these cards and it includes the two templates! Click here to print or download it.

And below is the video tutorial I shared last week with an entire different set of cards! I’ll share another version tomorrow.

The Starter kit deal ends on Saturday! I hope you’ll consider joining my team and taking advantage of the continual discount on all future Stampin’ Up! products!

  • Encircled in Nature in Autumn colors – free project sheet & video tutorial


    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. I featured the Encircled in Nature bundle.

    My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.  I used Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie and Calypso Coral for the sunset, adding each color softly with Blending Brushes.

    I textured the extra layer (4" X 5 1/4") of Basic Beige with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder seen here. Then I lightly sponged Basic Beige ink over it with a Blending Brush. I added Cajun Craze & Old Olive ink to the die-cut leaves with. 

    This pretty bundle is one of our Online Exclusives; available while supplies last.  It's already been out for awhile so I'm wondering how much longer it will be available. *if you want it act fast! 

    Here's a photo of the bundle; click here to see it online. 

    Besides the video tutorial below here's the free project sheet for it. Click on the following link to download or print it. Download Encircled in Nature Fall wreath

    I cut the wreath circle from both layers at the same time, saving one for the sunset layer adhered inside the card. 

    I finished it off with some 2023-25 In Color sparkle gems. Catch the video tutorial below to get the tips on creating this card.

  • Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!


    This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap.  This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose.  I do love swapping! 

    We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity! 

    The first group are January through June:

    This next group is July through December:

    They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares. 

    Here's how I decorated the front of mine:  I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies.  I trimmed the corners to match the coaster. 

    Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month. 

    These are January through June: 

    And these are July through December:

    Each one is fabulous!  I love seeing everyone's personal style.
