Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards


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.   

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….

  • Pretty Pumpkins with Be Dazzling specialty paper


    After seeing other projects with the Pretty Pumpkin bundle I had to get it.  I love the images and the font in the greetings. 

    I stamped the large pumpkin image in Pumpkin Pie ink and colored them and the leaves with Blends markers using both Pumpkin Pie & Olive markers plus light Crumb Cake for the stem & light Cajun Craze for the darkest areas on the pumpkins. 


    I was playing around with the Be Dazzling specialty paper and decided to try to color it.  I had a spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol & either Pumpkin Pie or Cajun Craze ink refill.  So I spritzed it on to a piece of the glittery paper.  It worked beautifully!  I did have to let it sit for a few minutes to set well.  Then I rubbed it with tissue to get any excess off before I die-cut the pretty filigree pumpkin with it.  

    I also spritzed my White twine to color it as well. 

    Other products:

    • Ornate Layer & Potted Succulent dies
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the leaves

  • Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card


    We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month.  It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

    Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those?  The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible!  I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out.  But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart! 

    Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card. 

    The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green.  We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink. 


    ***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first! 


    Details:

    • Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
    • Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars 
    • I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
    • You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work 

    I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep. 


    And below is the video; this card is so fun!
