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.

  • Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card


    Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.  

    I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper.  My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock.  The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square.  Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP).  So simple! 

    I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video.  If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.

  • Double Diagonal card fold with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Have you ever made a double diagonal card fold before?  They're a little bit addictive and so easy. This layout is also a great way to combine coordinating designer papers & use up your stash! 

     

    Here I used the new Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP along with the With You in Mind stamp set.  I love the nice big greetings. 

     

    When making this card you start out with a base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the outer diagonal piece from the score line down to the corner.  This is then flipped and adhered to the attached card base.  Watch the video here or below to see how to do it.  

    I used the 'To the Point' punch along with the 2 3/8" circle punch here.  They work beautifully together.

  • Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week.  If you missed it click here to see it.  Or slide down a bit.  

    I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper.  The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.  

    If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct.  I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood.  It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right. 

    I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card).  Which do you prefer? 

    The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here.  It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.


    I created a free project sheet for this card.  I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas.  *Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download With you in Mind Curtain fold

    The inside greeting is from the Mixed Labels stamp set.
