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.

  • Save this template! 4 quick cards with the new Iconic Celebrations DSP. Video & free project sheet too


    I have something brilliant to share with you today. How would you like to use two 6" sheets of DSP to make 8 easy but multi-layered cards?  I used an easy template with simple measurements to create some fabulous cards. Here's one of my favorites:

    And here are all of the blue cards in order left to right.  My colors include Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Mossy Meadow & White.  

    It starts out with two sheets of 6 X 6" DSP; in this case the new Iconic Celebrations from the Online Exclusives seen here.  *Two sheets of 6" DSP will make 8 cards.  You can opt to use just one sheet and not have any variation.

    You'll cut each 6 X 6" designer paper piece into four 3" squares. Then cut three of those into a few pieces like this (one is left whole):

    The photo above gives you the DSP AND layering cardstock measurement.  You can find the other measurements for the supporting layers on my free project sheet. 

    Click on the following link to see, print or download the project sheet: Download 4 Iconic Celebrations cards with template

    Besides the Iconic Celebrations DSP, I used a few other new Online Exclusives products – the Everyday Greetings stamp set and the Greetings of the Season bundle seen here. 

    Click here or on the video below to watch how these cards are made.  I share a second version in Cherry Cobbler & Mossy Meadow during the video.

    On the project sheet it lists the products I used. The ribbons here are the Iridescent 1/2" striped trim and the Gold & Silver 1/8" trim combo pack from the Annual Catalog.

  • Do you ever make cards made from leftover pieces?


    Today is the last day of the Paper Pumpkin sale – refills and add-ons are up to 75% off! See it all here

    ~~~

    I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups leftover from a previous project plus a stack of A Little Latte designer paper layers too.  Here are some of the cards I made with them.  

    Aren't they great?  You'd never know I made these with leftover pieces! It's a fun challenge to put random layers together in a pleasing way. I really enjoyed making these as thank you's for my online orders. 

    Here's a photo of the cute A Little Latte designer paper. There are two sheets of coffee cups you can fussy cut.  Or get the Latte Love bundle that has dies to match. 

     

     I knew I needed a neutral base to add the layers to so I started out with a textured White layer added to my card bases. I chose the So Swirly embossing folder seen here. After adding the DSP pieces & coffee cups I finished the cards with greetings and a twine bow. 

     

    I keep a small bag of White die-cut greeting pieces on my desk so I grabbed some of those for my greetings.  Done! 

    I think they turned out great.  Do you ever grab your leftovers to create with?
