Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards

May 6, 2020

I made another group of cards using the Double Wonder template. These are so quick and easy to make and the measuring sure isn't much when you consider it makes 11 cards!

You start out with two pieces of 6" X 12" designer series paper. It does need to be double sided.

Download the template & directions here. Download Double Wonder cards & template

I chose to use the Follow your Art designer paper. It will be perfect for all of my crafty friends and customers. Did you know it's on sale right now? It's just $4.60 instead of $11.50 right now? It's on the Last Chance list here. There are so many amazing deals right now!

I'll show you each set of cards separately. First up is Layout 1. It's fun to mix and match the pieces of designer paper cut from the template. With double sided paper you get quite a few options.

Save

Next is Layout 2 using two 1" strips of DSP on each card. You can jazz them up as much as you want; I kept them fairly simple using punches and die-cuts in my scraps.

Save

Lastly is Layout 3 and the bonus card on the right.

I used the Crafting Forever stamp set (retiring) and just a few colors of ink; Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry for sponging. I did use the Crushed Curry ribbon on many of these cards and the Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins. They are both on sale too!

Don't miss out on the amazing deals; get them while you can. Click here. I doubt we'll have many things on sale for awhile….

A Good Man double point fold card; it’s super easy!

May 28, 2020

It was so nice to be able to meet and stamp with many of my Club members this month. Our state has eased the guidelines for meetings so most of my gals chose to join me for Club this month. Many of us really needed to get together and play/stamp again.

One of our cards was this Double Point fold card; it's super cool and so very easy!

Save

And it really makes the best use of your designer paper. Not a bit of waste! Each card needs two pieces of 3" X 4" designer paper. Score it at 1" along the long edge and then fold each corner to the center of the fold like this:

Save

I used the Come Sail Away designer series paper here; it's still available while supplies last here.

Here's a quick video for you on putting this card together. I used the A Good Man stamp set and as you can see; you don't have to color in some of these sketch style images. They're beautiful just as they are!

Easy Seriously the Best Diagonal Strips cards

May 27, 2020
I made these fun diagonal stripes cards on a recent Facebook Live. It's so simple to do!

I used one of my favorite stamp sets; Seriously the Best here. I love the pretty bold font! You can see it here. It also coordinates with the Seriously the Best cards kit; which is 60% off!

Save

I chose to use the retiring 6 X 6" 2019-21 In Color paper pack. It's still available while supplies last and is sale right now here!

Save

The strips are 1" long; you need about two of each at 1" X 6". Here's how to make it:
- You'll need one piece of White CS measuring 4" X 5 1/4" to adhere the strips to.
- Adhere two DSP strips across from end to end leaving a little space between the two. Tip: 6" is a little short so I cut the Peacock strip in half and separated it a bit under the greeting.
- Now you'll add short lengths of DSP perpendicular to the first two strips, alternating colors and leaving a bit of space between them all.
- Now you can trim off the excess even with the original White CS piece.
- Adhere to your main card (5 1/2" X 8 1/2")
Save

You might notice the cute little flowers on the greeting tags and that pretty, stitched die-cut. Well these are new products coming out in the upcoming new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog! The flowers are a new border punch and the dies are part of the Tasteful Label dies.

You can order these items on June 3rd! (or purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter kit and you can add them to your $125 in product!) Read about that here.

Morning Star

May 26, 2020
Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking. It's amazing!

It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it. I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.

Save

Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos. Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

Save

Here are the measurements and supplies:
- Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Regals designer paper 5 1/4" X 1 7/8"
- Gorgeous Grape 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
- White 4 1/2" X 3 3/8"
- Label Me Fancy Punch, Grape striped ribbon, dimensionals, mini glue dots
Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue:

I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here. This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock. It was on the Last Chance list seen here. I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

Measurements:
- Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
- White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut
- White 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
- Navy 3 1/2" X 3"
- Ornate Style dies, Olive/Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon, Noble Peacock rhinestones
