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.

  • Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps


    Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here.  They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme. 

    The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold. 

    I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set.  She sponged the sky & grass too.  

    Measurements:

    • Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8" 
    • White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
    • Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it. 

    Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla.  I'd forgotten about this unique card fold!  It looks like a normal card at first glance. 

    But when you lift the front it reveals this!

    She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front.  She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip. 

    Measurements:

    • Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
    • Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6" 
    • Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4" 

    It's so fun to see what my Flowerbug's Team members create; we each have our own style and I love that!

  • Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home


    Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

    We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

    I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

    It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

    My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

    The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here. 

    On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!  

    The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  

    See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!
