Stack & Cut cards with Dandy Designs & Something Fancy with PDF project sheet & template download!


I LOVE the cards I'm sharing with you today!!  So much!  

They're 'Stack & Cut' cards using an easy template I'll share below.  I created these for last week's Facebook Live.  The Dandy Design SAB designer paper features gorgeous color combinations like this one: 

Who would have thought Balmy Blue & Coastal Cabana would be so pretty together?!  I sure didn't.  But with the small prints and the addition of White & Pool Party it works beautifully. 

Each set of cards feature this neat Dandy Designs designer paper seen here.  This huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets is free during Sale-a-Bration with any $100 purchase.  

For each of these sets of cards I also featured the Something Fancy bundle.  It's one of my top picks. See it here.  The greetings are great but the dies!  WOW; the tags and layers are perfect!  

Add this bundle to your order and you're over half way towards getting the Dandy Designs paper pack free! All of these tags and greeting die-cuts are from these Something Fancy dies.  

This next set is all pastels in Fresh Freesia & Petal Pink; another color combo I would never have put together.  But it works!  

You also might notice that each card is a fun fold.  Here are the measurements:

  • Horizontal cards – 4 1/4" X 11" card base, scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
  • Vertical cards 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base, scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 

Below is the template I used.  I started out with 4 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  I cut two at a time using the measurements on the template.  Then I cut 4 pieces of card stock for the layer under the designer paper pieces.  It's so easy and a fabulous way to use up your designer paper AND get a bunch of cards done quickly.

This last set features Calypso Coral with Mango Melody; a bright and fun combination.  

You can see on the upper left and lower right a few of the optional die-cuts you can add to the tags.  The set actually features 3 options for details or a ribbon pull. 

Here you can see all 12 of the cards I made with the Dandy Designs designer series paper and the Something Fancy bundle.

  • Use the Double Wonder Template to make 11 quick cards! Join me Thursday night!


    Do you ever planned a stamping session focusing on just a few products? It's easy to get overwhelmed with everything you own.  Using this method is actually quite liberating and fuels the creative process.  I've started doing that more and more often especially when planning my card kits to go.  I pick Stampin' Up! products from the same suite and choose some sketches or layouts for card ideas.  the process is so enjoyable this way!  

    Lately I've been seeing groups of cards using the Double Wonder template and had to try it.  It was originally designed by Shannon West from Stampin' Up!  It's so clever!! You start out with 2 pieces of 6" X 12" designer paper and using the pieces you can quickly have 11 finished cards!

    Look at these! I'll be making these cards Live tomorrow night at 7 pm CT. Join me either here on FB or on Zoom.  

    Here are the steps: 

    1. Pick out 2 different sheets of 6 X 12" designer paper and 11 card bases.  Make sure you have some ribbons or embellishments to match.  
    2. Use the template below to cut your designer paper; cutting both at once. 
    3. Grab some scraps of White and coordinating colors for punches/greetings. 
    4. Cut 4 pieces of layering card stock at 3 1/4" X 5" and one 3 3/4" square for the bonus card. (I used White)
    5. Choose a stamp set & ink to coordinate. 
    6. Or use the new Share Sunshine Covid-19 digital download like I did for my greetings. No stamping needed!  You can purchase that here. https://covid19.stampinup.com/products/giving-back-us-ca Price: $12.00 USD
    7. Come back here tomorrow night so we can stamp together.
    8. Or use this link to join via Zoom. *see tips on zoom meetings below  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88215870191

    I chose to use the new Ornate Garden designer paper for my cards.  Anything goes but a non directional design is best; try not to choose a paper that needs to be north and south.
