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

April 29, 2020

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:

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.
Use the template below to cut your designer paper; cutting both at once.
Grab some scraps of White and coordinating colors for punches/greetings.
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)
Choose a stamp set & ink to coordinate.
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
Come back here tomorrow night so we can stamp together.
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.

Gorgeously Made & Delightfully Eclectic swaps

June 6, 2023
I thought I'd share a few swaps I received on the Norway incentive trip.

This first card was made by Alanna Wharf. It features the Gorgeously Made bundle seen here.

Save

This card put me over the edge; now I have to get this bundle!

She used the Masterfully Made 12" designer paper seen here (sale price now at $10.62) and the Soft Shimmer 12" combo pack on the leaf die-cut.

Here's a close-up of this specialty paper and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love the simplicity of this card; it really shows off the die-cut, pretty DSP & texture.

Save

Next is a card my friend Susie Wood made with the new Delightfully Eclectic 12 X 12" designer paper seen here. It's on sale this month; marked down from $30 to $25.50. There are 48 sheets in this pack; 4 each of 12 designs.

Save

I love her layout; it really shows off the pattern of the daisy DSP. That greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.

Save

Her measurements are:
- Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- yellow DSP 2" X 4"
- Crushed Curry CS 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
- daisy DSP 4 pieces at 1" X 3"
