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".

  I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live.  It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!  

  Save

  I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

  Save

  The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

  Here are the measurements: 

  • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
  • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
  • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

  For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

• Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

  September 28, 2022

  ---

  We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

  Save

  The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

  The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

  All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

  Save

  This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

  Measurements:

  • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
  • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
  • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
  • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside
