This fun fold card I’m sharing today is super fun to open and to make. It looks like a normal card from this photo:

But look how it opens! The center pops out for a nice surprise.

My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige. The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

I used the Branching Out stamp set for the greeting and the fabulous new Traditional Labels dies seen here.

Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates

December 3, 2021

Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here. I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

See the carry over list here. And the retiring or Last Chance list here

My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White. I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand. I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber.

Save

See the texture? After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here.

If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here. I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards. And they sized perfectly for very little waste.

Below is how the White card stock is stamped. Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy.

Save

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines.

Save

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!

December 2, 2021

I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea! I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time. It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!

I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit! It's so fun to do.

For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes.

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with. For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to.

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp.

And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy.

I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these! They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

Below is the video so you can see how it's done.
