Nature’s Prints 5 sheet wonder; these 5 templates make creating so easy!


It's been awhile since I made a group of cards with my 5 sheet wonder templates.  The Nature's Prints stamp set was a perfect choice for it.  

And playing with three of our newest In Colors paired with Navy & White helped create these beautiful cards. 

I'm holding a class on Wednesday, May 25th at 6 pm here in Minot, ND for my local customers. RSVP to attend by May 22nd. You can see my PDF tutorial on my shop here.  I am not offering it as a kit to go at this time. 

I chose the new colors of Starry Sky, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis to start with.  I needed a 4th color and wanted to stick with the blues and greens so I added Navy to the mix.  

My greetings and images are all from the Nature's Prints stamp set seen here.  

How do my 5 sheet wonder templates work?  Here are the steps:

  1. Choose at least 4 colors of ink and card stock for your cards.  
  2. Choose a stamp set that has a variety of images, from large to small. It helps if they are non directional (okay stamped in different directions). 
  3. Print out Template A on White CS and stamp the non printed side with the images and inks you chose creating your own paper. *You could use DSP but you'll want to print on the reverse side. Here is mine below: 

3. Turn the stamped piece over and cut on the printed lines.  (I print my card stock with a printer but if your printer will not work with card stock you can have a copy place print them for you.  Or just use the template measurements as a guide. 

4. You'll also print templates B-E on four other colors of card stock.  Cut on the printed lines (you'll use the reverse side for your cards).  

5. You'll need 10 card bases in the colors you chose.  Place them on the table and add all of the cut pieces over each card base.  Tip; Use contrasting colors.  If there are many dark pieces I use a light card base and if there are mostly light pieces like the examples below, I'll use a dark card base.  

6.  Now you'll assemble the cards using my finished samples as a guide. 

7.  You'll stamp your greetings using a variety of punched or die-cut pieces and finish your cards, adding ribbon or gems as desired.  

Easy, no measuring cards that are BEAUTIFUL and multi-layered.  You can see my 5 sheet wonder PDF tutorial here on my Shop site.  The PDF tutorial includes multiple card and color examples.

    Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

    First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

    She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

    Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

    Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.

  • Flowers for Every Season & more!


    Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors. 

    First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

    Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly. 

    Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also. 

    What a fun layout!  Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer?  That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder.  The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.  

    Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane.  She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.  

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings.  Love these delicate dies!  

    Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better?  They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully.  It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
