EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.  

Leaves of Holly cards 5 Save

I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler.  My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".  

I did use a few images from Merriest Moments stamp set as well.  

Here is the main template that you stamp on.  It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts.  I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time.  Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. 

Each piece measures 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

5 in one cutting template Save

In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above.  I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting.  If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting. 

To see how I did this the link for the video is here.

Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece.  In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste!  Love that!

  • Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

    Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

    Save

    Here’s how you do it:

    Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

    Save

     Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

    Save

     Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

    Save

    We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

    I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

  • More Team swaps!

    Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

    Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

    Save

    Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

    Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

    Save

    She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

    Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
    The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

    Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.
