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".

• Awesome Otters is perfect with the Simply Marbelous!

  February 26, 2022

  ---

  There are just 2 days left of Sale-a-Bration promotion and I had to share this sweet card my Flowerbug's team member Karen made for our recent swap. The theme was cards featuring animals & fun fold layout. 

  Save

  She used Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight & Gray Granite along with the Hippo & Friends dies. She colored him in with Blends markers.  

  This card is a triangle pop up card.  The front of the card is scored diagonally across it so you can give it a twist to pop it up.  The inside greeting holds it up.  

  The Awesome Otters set is adorable; those critters are so cute!

  Save

  You can see the Awesome Otters set here and the Simply Marbelous DSP here.  They're BOTH free with a $50 order through Monday only.  Then Sale-a-Bration ends! Don't miss out on the deals!!!

• Rainbow of Happiness Easel card with video tutorial

  February 25, 2022

  The other card we made at my February card clubs was this bright rainbow easel card. We have so many wonderful rainbow themed products right now. 

  Save

  Details:

  • The rainbows and small clouds are die-cut using the Rainbow dies (currently unavailable through March 28th). 
  • The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here). 
  • The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly! 
  • The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
  • The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order. 
  • They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins. 
  • The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  

  Have you noticed this gorgeous glimmery specialty paper in the annual catalog?  It's perfect for rainbows & that touch of glitter.
