Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates


Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here.  I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

See the carry over list here.  And the retiring or Last Chance list here  

My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White.  I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand.  I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber. 

See the texture?  After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here. 

If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here.  I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards.  And they sized perfectly for very little waste. 

Below is how the White card stock is stamped.  Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy. 

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines. 

Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  


As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

  • Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free project sheet & video


    I featured the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle on a recent Live video.  Here's one of them: 

    It's a fun fold card that also has a gift card holder inside. You can see the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle here in our online store.  It's a cute punch bundle with a nice variety of greetings & more. 

    Products used:

    • Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper
    • Merry Melody embossing folder
    • Deckled Rectangle dies

    Below is a photo of the inside. It might be hard to see the gift card pocket on the inside left.  Scroll down to the other photo of the inside.  Isn't this greeting wonderful?  It's my favorite one in the set:

    I made a second version on my video; but reversed the colors. I used Pool Party & Real Red.  Which do you prefer?  Watch the video here.  


    You can see how the gift card is slipped into the inside left pocket, formed when you fold back the card stock on the left edge.  

    Measurements are included in the free project sheet seen above.  

    Below is the video on this card and two others. I'll share the project sheets for the other cards soon.

  • Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!


    Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps.  These two cards are not your average Christmas cards! 

    First is a pretty card made by Marla.  She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works! 

    She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
    • DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
    • White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

    Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

    Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men?  Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half.  She added so much detail on them too! 

    • The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
    • The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
    • Ears are from the monkey punch. 

    She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies.  A great idea!  

    The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive). 

    Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards.  Details on each if you go back each day this week.

  • WOW fun fold swap cards with the Beary Cute bundle!


    Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle.  All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.  

    First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.  

    She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!  

    So fun!  And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2" 
    • front white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", inside white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • Pretty Peacock front 2 7/8" X 5 3/8"
    • White inside greeting layers 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
    • Smoky Slate greeting layers 2 7/8" X 1 3/4" 

    She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks.  All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set. 

    Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

    She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat! 

    Here's the inside view.  The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set. 

    Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.  

    She used the Beary Christmas designer paper and stamps from the Beary Cute bundle. 

    Products used:

    • Beary Cute bundle
    • Night of Navy, White, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue card stock
    • Inks – Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight (scarf) and Mossy Meadow
    • Deckled circles dies, Navy & Gold glittered ribbon, Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

    Measurements:

    • Night of Navy card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Balmy blue and White inside 4" square
    • DSP strip 1 1/8" X 4"


    Unfortunately the Bear punch is unavailable right now; it will be back the first week in November though. See this bundle here.
