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.

  • Cottage Wreaths gift treat bag with video; easy and uses your DSP too!

    I shared this cute project on a FB Live video a few weeks ago.  It features the Country Wreaths bundle and the Santa Express designer paper.  Here's the link to the video.

    The Cottage Wreaths bundle is carrying over into January. See it here. 

    Look at the wreaths above; they're each unique, showing how much variety there is in the stamp set & dies.  

    The left is mostly die-cuts with an additional bow & berries added.  The right has the stamped wreath over the die-cut green wreath.  The bow is die-cut from Red glimmer paper. So many options!

    I started with a piece of DSP at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Score at 1 1/4" with the short edge at the top.  Then with the long edge at the top score at 2", 4", 6" & 8" up to that first score line.  Tip: You're only scoring the bottom of this bag. 

    Crease on the score lines and glue together.  *watch the video to see how.

  • Awesome fundraiser last weekend!

    Last Saturday we held a big fundraiser for two of my favorite local charitable organizations here in Minot, ND. It was an amazing success because of the many donations & volunteers. 

    I kept feeling a nudge to do this and I knew my friends & community would join in. I was thrilled with the many people that helped pull it off.

    We raised over $3400 in sales towards these charitable organizations. Woo hoo!

    We focused on baked and craft items at our sale hoping to help people with their Holiday baking & gift giving.  A local church offered us their Parish Hall to hold it.  Here are some pictures of our goods.

    We had an amazing group of donations. We were asked by many if we would do it again next year; and I sure hope we can!

    Here's a little information on these two organizations:

    Hairball Haven is a local feline rescue that takes in homeless kittens and cats, provide veterinary care, immunizations, spays or neuters and houses them until they find new, loving homes.  They currently have over 100 in house & in foster homes.  An average vet bill is $20,000. They're amazing and I'm so happy to help support them. My granddaughter Eliza loves to volunteer there when she's in town.  Here's a link to their FB page and donation link.   

    Matthew 25 Project is the other wonderful organization we donated to.  They are a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost. My friend Melissa started this in Minot and 1000's of people have benefited from their generousity. It's run by volunteers but they do have rent, gas and heat bills.  Here's a link to their FB page. 

    I love this time of year when everyone feels the need to give to others.

  • Kindest Gnomes ‘Fancy Feet’ card; so cool!

    We made this FUN Gnomes card at my December card clubs.  I also shared it on my Tuesday FB Live here.  

    Kindest Gnomes Dec Save

    You might ask, why is it fun?  Well the gnomes feet wiggle.  I call them 'fancy feet'.  It features the Kindest Gnomes bundle.  Unfortunately the stamp set has sold out. The dies are carrying over into January because we are getting a NEW Gnome stamp set in the Spring catalog. It will coordinate with the current Gnomes dies. See the dies here. 

    Here's what the inside of the card looks like.  I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set.  I like that this stamp set has greetings for winter or New Years.

    Below is the back of the assembled gnome and shows how the swinging feet work.  The 'nose' is cut from a small rectangle of Blushing Bride and that oval is how you 'hang' the feet so they swing.  It's not adhered at all. This entire piece is adhered to the Designer Paper layer; it's adhered with just two Dimensionals.

    Isn't it fun!  I hope you watch the video to see how easy this is to make.  Even if you don't have the gnomes set I'm sure you could make something else 'swing' like a greeting or other critters. 

    This card is included in one of my December card kits to go featuring the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  This kit has sold out now; but you can see others in my shop here. 

    Which one do you like better?
