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!

  • See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet


    Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.  

    That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
    2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
    3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
    4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
    5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
    6. Finish your card as you'd like. 

    I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

    The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

    1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
    2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
    3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

    The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

  • Let’s Chat is cute & nostalgic! See the video & free project sheet


    Today I'm sharing one of the Club cards we made during my April Card Clubs. I chose the 'Let's Chat' stamp set seen here. 

    I love this set!  Between the fun old-fashioned telephone, the greetings and the curvy 'cord' images it's a blast to create with. 

    I chose to use the retiring Hot Air Balloon designer paper seen here for my color palette of Fresh Freesia & Balmy Blue. We did fussy cut the head set to add at the top with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    For the inside of the card I used the Happy Little Things stamp set seen here.  I really like the many greeting combinations you can make. t's one of our online exclusives.
