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.

  • Get great ideas from our Team Christmas card swaps made with Online Exclusives


    Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team for our October card swap. The theme was winter or Christmas.  And both of these cards feature Online Exclusive products!  If you haven't shopped these items yet you're missing a huge selection of products!  Click here to see them all. 

    Paula's card is made with the Iconic Imagery bundle.  I cannot believe the amount of die-cutting she did on her cards; she made 14 of these!

    Isn't it incredible?!  Besides all of the small stamps she die-cut she also cut out nine 1" stitched squares per card!  Wowsers!  

    Here's the adorable bundle below. Click here to see it in my store.  I love the many images and the greeting labels a lot. 

    Her gingham designer paper is also on Online Exclusive. I honestly cannot believe we haven't fun out of stock on this one.  It's called Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper. See it here. 

    See that cute greeting & die-cut?  They're both in the Iconic Imagery bundle.

    Next is a beautiful sled card made by Deloris. Isn't this stunning? Did you notice she used the same gingham designer paper that Paula did above?  It's the Green & Gold Specialty DSP.  


    She featured the Sophisticated Sled bundle seen here.  You can find it in our Online Exclusives.  It's a gorgeous set of stamps & dies.  I especially love the sled made from wood DSP and gold foil. And those skates and laces are incredible!!

    Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!

  • 2 more Season of Elegance & Peaceful Season cards with free project sheets & video


    Yesterday I shared a gorgeous fancy fold card and today I have two more pretty cards as well.  They all feature the Season of Elegance suite. 

    I'll start with this one which has Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock and Gold:

    I love so many things about this card – the pretty dies and that fabulous Painted Trees 3D embossing folder too.  I adhered the Season of Elegance DSP (seen here) to the Beige layer before I textured it.  A neat trick to showcase them both.  

    Notice the 'Merry' die-cut layers. There isn't a coordinating larger die-cut for this so I cut this in half horizontally to add a nice gold layer above and below. *watch the video here or below to see how I did it.

    Here's a view of this gorgeous designer paper:

    Next is a pretty card featuring the Cherry Cobbler and Gold DSP in this pack.  

    It also shows off the pretty die-cuts once again.  I really like the ribbon slots in three of the dies in the set. Here I used the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler/Gold satin ribbon seen here.  

    This Peaceful Season bundle is a big hit with many of my customers.  It has beautiful die-cuts and the greetings are wonderful as well. 

    I'm sure the embossing folder caught your eye as well.  It's the Forever Plaid 3D folder.  It's one of our large folders so I could place the Beige CS on an angle.

    I especially like this layout as it truly does not matter what size your DSP layers are. Simple offset them from each other to form an interesting mix.  

    **Did you know you can get the entire Season of Elegance Suite for just $99 (regular price $154.75)?!  And shipping is free!  Add it to your Starter kit here by October 31st. An incredible deal! 

    Below is the video for these two cards and another neat fun fold too.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

  • This Season of Elegance fancy fold is extra special and has a gift card option


    I shared this card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also part of my October kit to go and PDF tutorial as well.  It's unique and truly shows off our double sided designer paper! 

    Can you see how it opens? The left panel opens up to reveal another flap that also opens. This Cherry Cobbler layer is scored to allow a gift card to be inserted in the pocket.  If you don't need one, just adhere it down or trim it off.  

    I did create a free project sheet for this card; click on the following link to download or print it off. Download Season of Elegance fun fold card with gift card option

    I have 5 of these pre-cut kits to go left that include 1/2 pkg of the Season of Elegance specialty paper plus shares of the Cherry  Cobbler/Gold ribbon and Gold textured dots. The tutorial is included or you can purchase it separately. Click here to see the options. 

    I have two more projects to share with you tomorrow; all featuring this gorgeous suite.  I'm also sending it to everyone that places an online order with me in October.
