Sparkling Snowflakes Easy 5 Card Wonder with free templates & video

I'm excited to share today's project. You may know this but I LOVE stamping one sheet wonders! I have created many of them and the layers & templates to make them super easy to use. *see them here

On last week's Live video I shared these pretty snowflake cards; made with my Easy 5 card wonder templates. 

Save

I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. Snowflakes can be wintery or holiday; they're quite versatile.  I added greetings using the Tailor Made Tags & Stylish Shapes dies with a bit of Elegant trim cording. 

Save

My colors include Coastal Cabana, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party & Fresh Freesia. 

I started out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of Basic White card stock. I stamped the snowflakes down the center so some would be on each of the card front pieces.  Each piece measures 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". 

Save

You can see the stamped pieces below.  There is very little waste.  I love being able to create my own patterns with different color combos.  It's so fun and reminds me why I love stamping! 

Save

After you've stamped and cut your 5 layers, you can choose to stamp your greetings in the open area or add greetings using a punch or die-cut.

Now choose a coordinating piece of card stock to create the colored layers for the card fronts. Below is the template with measurements. Again it starts with an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of colored card stock. Each piece measures 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".

• A Wonderful Serene Love card kit to go; or choose the tutorial option

  December 12, 2024

  ---

  I knew I'd love this paper when I ordered it. I was right! The patterns and colors are beautiful.

  I created a fantastic group of cards featuring the Serene Love DSP (new release this month). All but 4 of the 5 designs are fun folds. Aren't they pretty? 

  Save

  I added Pretty in Pink as an accent since it works wonderfully with these colors.  I created 5 different cards and made 2 of each.  In this kit to go you'll receive the following:

  • 10 pre-cut cards including layers, punched or die-cut pieces
  • a share of Iridescent Pearl jewels
  • a share of Pretty in Pink ribbon
  • the PDF tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and a supplies list

  This kit to go is $31 and will be sent to you via Priority mail at the end of December. You can reserve your kit to go here.

  The PDF tutorial is available separately here for $16. It is sent to you via email immediately after payment. 

  You will need a few ink colors, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. The colors include Petal Pink, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia. 

  *This is the kit my subscribers will receive in December. 

  I'll share the other kit to go Friday.  Or click here to see them both now.  You'll save on shipping if you order more than one kit.

• Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.  

  Save

  It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done. 

  It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog.  I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut. 

  Save

  The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it.  I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

  Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.

  I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!  

  Save

  Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here. 

  Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

  My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do.  Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal. 

  My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here. 

  The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

  I added a double bow made from Red &  White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December.  *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!
