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!

  • Neat Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this neat fun fold card on last week’s video. It is the standard size card but shows off your designer paper so nicely.

    The 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock has an extra score line on the front left. This gives you a spot for a DSP strip and to adhere a 4 1/4″ piece of DSP under that flap. It opens fully because the DSP is only attached to the scored flap. So cool!
    My colors include Misty Moonlight, Strawberry Slush & Crushed Curry; taken from the designer series paper. The little butterflies dies are from the Cutest Crew dies. That greeting is from the Springtime Scenes dies.

    I used the new Homemade Sweetness DSP here with the greeting from the Cutest Crew stamp set. The checked Misty Moonlight ribbon is in the suite with the Homemade Sweetness DSP. There is also a stamp & dies bundle and gems. Here’s a link to the DSP:

    I did create a free project sheet for this card so you can make this fun fold too. Click here to access it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this sweet card; I hope you watch it.

  • Cutest Crew card swap


    Here’s the card I made for our latest Team card swap. What do you think of the color combo?

    As you can see, I used the Cutest Crew bundle here. I’m a cat owner so I chose the cats. My colors include Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, White and Basic Gray.

    This adorable bundle is in our Online store and was available last week but now the dies are out of stock again. I have a feeling this is how it will be for awhile. We all love our pets! You can see the Cutest Crew bundle here or the stamp set alone here. *Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get notified when it’s back in stock.

    The largest card base is Crushed Curry and the next layer is Smoky Slate which is the part that opens.

    I colored in the images with Blends markers. It was fun to color them in cat like patterns.

    Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you like my cards.

  • More Team card swaps


    Today I’m sharing the other card swaps my Team members made featuring Online Exclusive products.

    First is Karen’s card made with the Homemade Sweetness suite seen here.

    It’s a book-binding fold where the left side is adhered together and just the right part opens.

    Check out the embossed layers with the Ladybug Picnic embossing folder. It’s so neat! Unfortunately it’s out of stock right now; but it will be back. If you want it be sure to add your email to the product to be informed when it’s back.

    Next is Candy’s card made with the Cutest Crew stamp set seen here. She wanted to use the dies but they were out of stock. They came back for two days and are now out of stock again! Popular set!

    Her colors are stunning! Bubble Bath with Smoky Slate and White. She stamped the kittens on the Nested Essentials die-cut and colored them in with Smoky Slate & Bubble Bath Blends markers. The embossing folder is the Hearts of Love embossing folder.

    Here’s Joan’s card featuring the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper.

    She layered 3 different pieces of this foiled paper with Pretty in Pink before adding her greeting layer on top. Neat layout!

    ~~~

    Lastly is Jess’s card featuring the Lovely Stripes embossing folder seen here.

    The vertical strips of DSP are from the Made with Love. I like how she alternated the DSP strips with the card stock strips. This is the first swap she joined; she did a great job!

    Her greeting is from the Cutest Crew stamp set.

    That’s it for our March swaps. I hope you are inspired by their creations!
