I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.
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"
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!
What do you think? Are you going to try the 5 at a time templates?
