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.

Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets

August 19, 2022
Today I'm sharing more of my Flowerbug Team card swaps featuring Holiday Catalog stamps or bundles.

First up is a beautiful card made by Tracey featuring the Perched in a Tree bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors are Soft Suede, Petal Pink and Mango Melody. The designer papers are Texture Chic and the Silver & Gold Sale-a-Bration DSP. We stamped & sponged the Silver & gold DSP to add coordinating colors.

The gold leaves are from the Chic dies cut from the Distressed Gold DSP. The solid leaves are from the Aspen dies. That pretty texture on the Soft Suede layer is the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder seen here. All contribute to making this card stunning!

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Soft Suede 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP are both 3" X 4"
~~~

Next is a soft & pretty card Marilyn made. She used the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

Save

Her colors are Coastal Cabana with Soft Suede & White. The Splendid Stems dies add a delicate natural touch.

The White is textured with the Painted Texture embossing folder. The corners on this piece are punched with the new Very Best Trio punch seen here. The soft DSP is from the Splendid Day specialty paper seen here.

Save

Measurements:
- Coastal Cabana is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"

- DSP & Coastal Cabana layers are 2 3/4" X 3 1/4"

Lastly for today is a pretty card made by Paula. She cased a card made by Colleen Magness. It features the pretty Soft Seedlings stamp set. It's a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of color when stamping. Although she did use a sponging technique to achieve her multiple colors.

Save

She inked the stamp in Crushed Curry first, then added Old Olive to the stem with a marker. Then used a finger dauber to add pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler ink on stamp. Huff & stamp!

The leaf texture on her Vanilla layer is made with the Leaf Fall 3D folder seen here. It's new!

Measurements:
- Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4" X 11"
- Vanilla 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
- Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" X 4"

More Team Swaps include multiple ‘WOW’ cards!

August 18, 2022
Every month our Flowerbug's Team has an optional card swap and I always think it's the best group of cards ever. Then another month comes and they get even better! How is it possible?!

This first card today features the Brightest Beauty bundle seen here. It's in our Holiday catalog and has been on my wish list for awhile. I think she pushed me over the edge with her card!

Save

Her colors include Old Olive & Crushed Curry with White. I LOVE the frame she made with the Fabulous Frames dies! The rest of the dies are from the Brightest Beauty bundle. That stamped background behind the frame and the main image are wonderful together. The plain white behind the pretty flower & leaves really show the stamped image off. And that greeting die!

~~~

Next is an amazing card made by Candace. She is the expert at sponging backgrounds. Always so smooth and blended.

Who would think of adding a Hippo to Snowflakes?!! But it works perfectly.

Save

Details:
- Colors include Gorgeous Grape, White, Highland Heather & Pacific Point
- The Hippo is from the Hippest Hippos stamp set & dies from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.
- The snowflake frame is from the Snowman dies & the Red & White glimmer paper
- The embossing folder is from the Wintry duo in the Annual catalog
- She achieved her beautiful background by using Blending Brushes.
- The pretty 'iridescent' snowflake is from our Wonderful Snowflakes seen here
- She printed the greetings on White card stock using her printer!

Next is a simple yet beautiful card made by Annette. She let the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder take the prime spot on her card. This folder comes in a bundle with dies seen here.

Save

Her colors are Old Olive with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the Color & Contour bundle. The offset circles add a playful touch.

Come back for more incredible swap cards tomorrow!
