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.

  • Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!


    On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video. 

    The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

    This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here. 

    I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    Here's the video with details:
