Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

September 26, 2023

I'm a bit addicted to this card layout! I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.

You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5". Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle. You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.

Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.

You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts. I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock. That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.

Save

Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern. This can help your card appear soothing and less busy.

I shared how to do this on the video below. In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.

I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock.

The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies. Here are the three cards I made:

Grassy Grove dies make amazing cards quickly! Video too!

January 27, 2022

I was inspired to use the Grassy Grove bundle for a January card club project because of this card made by Deloris; one of my Flowerbug's Team members.

Save

See what I mean? It's striking & stunning! She used Blackberry Bliss and that background is the amazing New Horizon 6 X 6" DSP seen here. Her greeting is stamped on a stitched rectangle die-cut on Fresh Freesia CS.

Save

I changed the colors but still kept the large die-cut and the pretty paper the star of the card.

Save

The die-cut is Black, cut at 5 1/8" X 3 7/8". The New Horizons paper is cut just a hair smaller. We simply added two of the deer in the Grassy Grove dies and a greeting on an Oval punched piece.

Scroll down to see the video I made or click here.

The card bases were either Soft Succulent or Misty Moonlight as that coordinated with most of the designer paper scenes.
Save

Here is what the inside looks like. We stamped the trees in the Grassy Grove stamp set in Black and added a greeting. This greeting is part of the Special Moments stamp set seen here (free during our Sale-a-Bration promo now)

Save

Here are three of the cards all together. See how the New Horizons designer paper can change the background scene so easily? Everyone thought these made perfect masculine cards and sympathy cards as well.

Fast but fabulous Flowing Flowers card kit to go with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template

January 26, 2022
I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live. I used the Flowing Flowers stamp set in a unique set of colors.

This stamp set was one of my top picks in the Spring catalog. Not just because it's flowers, but because of the Distinktive images and pretty greetings. Look!

Save

Here's a link to the live video where I made a totally different set of cards using the same OSW template. I created it a few years ago and love trying it with different stamp sets. I find it's a fabulous way to get beautiful cards made quickly without a lot of measuring.

**Did you know that my Team members get all of my tutorials free? They receive every single one I make – at least 3-5 a month! We met on Sunday night via Zoom and many of us used the Easy 8 Card Wonder to make our cards. So fun to visit while we stamped!! Ask me about the Starter Kit deal & joining my Flowerbug's Team.

Here is the 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of basic White card stock that I stamped using the images in the Flowing Flowers stamp set.

Save

I did do a little 'surgery' on one of the stamps (seen the flower in the first photo above). I cut the leaves and the spatter part away from the main flower so I could stamp them in different colors. I know I'll use this stamp so much more this way. I used our Paper Snips to do it. I encourage you to try this on your stamps; it's scary but so worth it!

Here is one of the cards made with my template. *These three pieces were cut on the printed lines on the reverse side. No measuring!!

Save
You have a few choices if you want to make cards like these:
- Get the template & PDF tutorial here in my Shop. It's called the Easy 8 Card Wonder and includes directions for 4 different sets of cards & color combos. $15 *Click here to see my other OSW's. Plus once you purchase it, you will get an email every time I update the tutorial with new color combos & stamp sets!
- Reserve a pre-cut kit to go by Feb 15th. Contact me here. I'll send you a PayPal invoice for it all. The kits are sent out at the end of February via Priority Mail. It's $46 with shipping.
The Kit to go includes:
- the Flowing Flowers 9 piece stamp set
- a printed template on 8 1/2" X 11" Basic White CS
- pre-cut & punched pieces for all 8 cards
- the free PDF tutorial sent in an email
- You will need your own ink (I used Navy, Daffodil, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana), adhesives & gems.
Save

You can see the video here where I show how the template is used. I created a different group of cards using this Easy 8 Card Wonder template.

Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

January 25, 2022
Today is the last of the pretty monochromatic cards my Flowerbug's gals made for our January swap. The theme was a challenge for some but others found it easy. Have you made a monochromatic card before? If not try it!

This first card was made by Tracey using the Meadow dies in Blushing Bride & White.

Save

There are so many beautiful details!
- All of these flowers, butterfly & greeting dies are from the Meadow dies seen here. They're cut from White, Bushing Bride & Vellum CS
- The texture is from the Bark 3D embossing folder seen here.
- She sponged on one of the die-cuts and the textured piece too.
- The greeting is heat embossed using White embossing powder
Next is a card made by Ginny using the Color & Contour bundle seen here. She chose to use the In Color Pale Papaya.

Save

The designer paper is from our 6 X 6" In Color assorted DSP pack seen here. Did you know we have patterned paper in each of our Stampin' Up! colors! I love how easy it is to coordinate our products with our color line. It just makes me happy!

Next is a card Candace made using the new Sale-a-Bration free bundle called Friendly Hello seen here.

Save

Here are the details:
- Her colors are Blushing Bride & Flirty Flamingo. She stamped her flowers on both the greeting circle and the Blushing Bride card base.
- She used the Basic Border dies to trim off the front edge for a stitched detail.
- The striped DSP is on the inside of the card. It's from the Host Pattern Party DSP
- She textured the larger circle with the new Gingham embossing folder.
- The ribbon is our new Frayed White ribbon in the Jan-June catalog.
