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.

  • Two more fun fold card swaps by my Flowerbug’s; with measurements!


    Today I'm sharing a few more fun fold cards from our June Team swap with my Flowerbug's.  Our theme was to do a fun fold card using at least one new In Color.  Their cards are amazing!  I'll be sharing them all week!

    First is Marla's card made with the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here.  

    It starts out as a book binding fold… but look what's inside!  An explosion card! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP in front 4" square, 1" X 4" strip
    • DSP inside is 6" square. Score in half twice and once diagonally. Adhere only the flat (non-scored) squares to the card inside. 
    • inside white 2 3/4" square

    ~~~

    Next is Jacki's amazing card; who also chose the Florals in Bloom DSP. 

    Her colors include the new Secret Sea (dark blue) with Peach Pie & Pumpkin Pie. Her stamp set is 'With You in Mind' and the 'Delightful Wishes bundle' for the flowers.  Here's how it opens: 

    Measurements:

    • White card bases – two pieces at 10 1/4" X 4" scored at 4 3/4". It's then scored from the bottom left corner to the upper right at 4". The center flat panels overlap each other. 
    • Secret Sea – 3 3/4" square, cut in half on the diagonal – 1 for each side, panel under greeting 3 1/8" square, sides are 5/8" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 3 1/2" cut in half on the diagonal – 1 for each side
    • White front 3" square, white inside 5 1/4" X 4"

    Isn't it neat?  Her inside greeting is from the Notes & Totes stamp set seen here.

  • Irresistible Designs emboss resist technique with free project sheet & video


    I shared this card on last week's Live video. I wanted to feature the new Irresistible Designs specialty paper seen here in the new Annual catalog.  It has printed/embossed patterns that are perfect for the emboss resist technique.  

    Which color do you prefer? Are you a yellow or a purple person?  

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. For inks I chose Lemon Lolly, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. 

    I cut my strips first, then blended the inks on. I textured the center Smoky Slate layer with the Glass & Gardens embossing folders.  The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.

    I stamped the greeting twice; first on the circle and again on a small piece of card stock.  I fussy cut the 'Celebrate' out and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals.  This was such an easy card! 

    Here's the free project sheet for these cards: Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Paper Tags with Irresistible Designs

    I featured the Paper Tags bundle for this card and another one below.  See it here. 

    You can see the other card I shared during the video below.  Besides the emboss resist technique on the diagonal I featured the Joseph's Coat technique.  See it here.

  • Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial


    I played with the Paper Tags stamp set and the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper for last week's video.  Here's my favorite project: 

    The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks.  The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather. 

    For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern.  So cool!  

    After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here. I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.  

     

    For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers. 

    Here's how you do the Joseph's Coat technique:

    1. Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock. 
    2. Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder. 
    3. Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer. 
    4. Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder. 

    Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow.
