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.

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….

I created 5 cute cards; one in each color using the Daisy Lane & Sweetly Swirled stamp sets. These cards are going out to my family this week.

I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next.

Here's the Lovely Lipstick version:

Best Dressed FB Live cards

April 17, 2020
I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.

Save

Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes. Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards! Join me here:

I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine.

Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

April 16, 2020
My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color. Here's the card I made:

Save

This card literally took me 5 minutes to make. Here's the steps:
1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4". Adhere to the card
3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4" stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink. Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
6. Add a few rhinestones. Done!
You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here. Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit! Details below:
