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.

  • Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo


    Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.  

    I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week. 

    I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive.  Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

    What do you think of this color combination?  I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.  

    The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers.  The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering.  I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock. 


    The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern. 

    The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

  • Forever Fern video; an easy trio of gorgeous cards


    I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

    If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

    I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  

    The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

    Measurements for this card:

    • Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
    • Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
    • Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

    I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

    Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?

  • Flowers for Every Season


    The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

    I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook. 

    This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

    I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
      CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
      CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
      Greeting banner/punch

    Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.
