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".

• Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia

  September 8, 2021

  ---

  If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

  Save

  You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

  Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

  Here's how it's done:

  1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
  2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
  3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
  4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!

• Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!

  September 7, 2021

  ---

  On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

  Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

  As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

  Save

  The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

  Save

  See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!

  DSP Explosion card

• Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps

  September 6, 2021

  ---

  We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

  The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

  Save

  It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

  Details:

  • Stacked Stone background stamp
  • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
  • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
  • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
  • Champagne rhinestones

  This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.

  I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

  Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

  I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

  This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.
