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.  

Save

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!

• 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!

  November 24, 2022

  ---

  Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

  We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

  ~~~

  Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

  Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  

  
  

  Save

  Measurements are: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
  • Evergreen layer 4" square

  Save

   

  Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

  Save

  Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
  • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
  • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
  • Designer paper squares are 3"

  Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!

  I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

• Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints

  November 23, 2022

  ---

  Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you.  Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. 

  First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

  Save

   

  • She used Night of Navy as her card base.  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2". 
  • The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.  
  • I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing.  It's also 2" X 5 1/4" 

  It stands up nicely too.  Here's what it looks like closed for mailing. 

  Save

  The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here. 

  ~~~

  Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch. 

  Save

  Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel?  It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card! 

  She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.  

  Save

  The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog.  I love that snow hill curve! 

  Save

  Measurements:

  • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
  • Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line.  That separates the sides from the front panel. 
  • DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.  

  Save

  Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.
