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!

  • Merry, Bold & Bright card kit to go; for both Christmas & Birthdays!


    I chose the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper for one of my card kits this month because it's filled with fun, bright & colorful designs that can be used for  Christmas, Birthdays or other celebrations.  They're my theme for these colorful cards I created this month. 

    Aren't they fun? Each one is a fun fold card that truly shows off the neat prints in the designer paper. I know they don't look like fun folds but they are!

    As I usually do with my monthly kits to go I am including approximately $20 in product along with the pre-cut cards.  You also have the option of getting the PDF tutorial only.  

    This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.  If you'd like to receive a pre-cut cards kit (with extra products to make more) each month click here.  It's $28 plus shipping and they get bonus free products every few months.

  • Pretty Rustic Crate bundle ideas by Mary


    Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team Member Mary.  She was my October Artist of the Month and she chose to feature the Rustic Crate bundle seen here. 

    Her first project shows off her beautiful coloring and that neat create die-cut. 

    I believe she colored the fall image with Blends markers. Products used include the Let's Go Fishing designer paper, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso and Wild Wheat card stock as well as the Nested Essential dies and In Color twine. 

    That cute little 'hello' die-cut is included in this bundle. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Wild Wheat banner 4 1/4" X 1"
    • Let's Go Fishing designer paper 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"

    Her next card features a beautiful color combination of Copper Clay with Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla and Lost Lagoon. 

    It also shows off the pretty All About Autumn specialty designer paper.  It's back in stock now too; see it here! 

    She simple sponged a bit of Copper clay ink over the fall image. 

    The Pretty Peacock die-cut leaf is from the Autumn Leaves dies. 

    Measurements:

    • Copper Clay card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Lost Lagoon 5 1/4" X 4" plus a 1 3/4" circle punch

    It's November! It's hard to believe we're starting to think about Thanksgiving already!  

    I have a bunch of handmade cards I'd love to share with you. I know many of you love having card samples in hand for ideas. I have a shoebox full saved for quick reference when I'm creating.  

    My November special for online orders is a set of handmade cards. The more you order the more cards you'll receive!  

    Please use a host code when ordering from me. This helps me a lot so I can afford to gift you all with free items each month. 

    Starting today there's a brand new kit in our Kit Collection; it's a set of cards with a 'destination' theme. It's called the Best Destination Kit – item #163186. 


    This all inclusive kit is $20 and includes:
