Circle Celebration Easy 8 Card Wonder Kit to Go!

As you know I love creating One Sheet Wonders.  I have created lots of them in the years I've been a demonstrator.  I create the cards and my husband makes the templates.  You can see them all here in my Shop.  

For these cards I used my Easy 8 Card Wonder template and the Circle Celebration stamp set.  You can see the stamp set here.

The colors are Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight.  I wanted them to be bright and happy celebratory cards. I think I succeeded! 

For the greetings I used the stamp sets Many Mates & Itty Bitty Birthdays but you can easily substitute what you own. 

Here's a look at how I made the main 'wonder' piece.  I used slightly different colors on this sheet, but it gives you the idea. 

Save

I stamped all over a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock; the printed template is on the reverse side.  After stamping I flip it over and cut on the printed lines. Each piece is numbered so I know which one goes with which card in the tutorial.  The PDF tutorial includes measurements for other pieces needed. 

You can purchase the PDF tutorial here.

There is also a kit to go option for $28.  It includes the following:

• Circle Celebration photopolymer stamp set
• 8 pre-cut cards including layers, punched and die-cut pieces
• The printed 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock
• The complete PDF sent via email

*You will need the inks in the colors stated above (or similar colors), a paper trimmer and adhesive. The kit does not include stamped images, gems or ribbon.

If you want the pre-cut kit to go contact me at lagreff60@gmail.com. I cannot give a link to purchase here due to SU regulations. 

I have two kits to go this month; see the other one here.  Opt in for both and save on shipping!

• Decorative Borders Book Binding card with video tutorial

  March 17, 2023

  ---

  I shared this special card on a recent FB Live.  It features a few techniques and is a fun fold card too.  

  It's made with the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here; a new favorite! 

  Save

  When I saw this pretty leaves image I thought of creating a frame with it.  I show how on the video below.

  This book binding fold is so easy; it's just one extra fold line! 

  Measurements:

  • Black card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”
  • White 3 7/8” square, inside is 4" square
  • Polished Pink 4”
  • Parakeet Party 1” X 4

  Save

  I used my Stamparatus to create the pretty border on the Parakeet Party strip and a Baby Wipe technique for the colorful flowers. The leaves are colored with Blends markers; note the pretty shading!  Parakeet Party & Granny Apple Green blends.

  The greeting is from the Framed Florets set seen here.

  There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

  Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

• Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

  March 16, 2023

  ---

  Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

  The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

  My measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
  • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4"

• Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

  March 15, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here. 

  Save

   

  I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?  

  Save

  In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.

  *Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
  • Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
  • White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”

  I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings.  It has some fabulous images; see it here.
