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.

  • Beautiful Monochromatic card swaps using designer series paper


    These are the last few swaps for our June swap theme of 'using designer paper' on a card.  

    Annette created this one with the Earthen Elegance designer paper and Nature's Prints stamp set. 

    It's gorgeous in our new Pecan Pie color with Very Vanilla.  There's just something about monochromatic cards! 

    Measurements:

    • Pecan Pie card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", layer is 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 2 1/2" X 4" and 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Designer paper 2" X 5 1/4"

    Next is Paula's card; it's a fun fold card featuring the Inked Botanicals designer paper. It's another monochromatic card! She folded back her front card base to show off the designer paper on the inside.  


    She used the Darling Details bundle for her greeting, flowers & leaves. The greeting die-cut is made with the new Nested Essentials dies. 

    Measurements:

    • Lost Lagoon card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4" 
    • DSP left front 1" X 5 1/4", front fold (and inside front fold) is 1 1/4" X 5 1/4" and inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside is 2" X 5 1/4" 

    Love how she added designer paper everywhere!

  • Designer Paper swap card ideas by my Team


    I have more Team swaps to share with you today.  Our theme for June was to feature designer series paper. 

    *Remember our designer papers are all discounted in June! It's a great time to grab the packs you want.  *see them all here

    First up is a gorgeous card made by Ginny featuring the Masterfully Made DSP seen here.  

    She also used the coordinating bundle called Gorgeously Made seen here.  Her colors include Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Bubble Bath and a bit of vellum.  The greeting, leaves and torn notebook edge are all dies in this bundle.  

    Next is a pretty birthday card made by Sharon.  She featured the Bright & Beautiful DSP seen here.  

    She also used the Gold Celebrations 12 X 12 specialty paper too. See the confetti gold acetone on the blue balloon?  She also added a few dies and embossing folders as well. Natural Prints dies for the greeting and the Countryside Corners dies for the Misty Moonlight & Berry Burst die-cuts, the Basics 3D (online exclusive) and Cane Weave 3D folders 

    I'll share the rest of this month's swaps tomorrow.

  • Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team


    Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.  

    This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.  

    It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not!  It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side! 

    Measurements are as follows:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
    • Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right.  *same on the inside

    It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base.  So cool and smart!  I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.  

    She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here.  If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.   

    She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.  

    Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?)  She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker! 

    It's a 'book-binding' card fold.  Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.  

    Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.  

    The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!
