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.

• The last of my 10 amazing card ideas for Paper Strips!

  April 12, 2021

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the last of the 10 cards I made on my Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

  I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them.  We're calling them 'Stripper Cards'! 

  Save

  Here's a favorite I made with 3/4" X 3 3/4" strips of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Pumpkin Pie.  

  Save

  I started out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS.  Starting at the bottom I added a strip and alternated colors and directions each time.  I focused on keeping the tips at the same area and left the excess 'wide' end hang over the edge.  

  I had to leave enough space to stamp the greeting (You Are Amazing set seen here) so I stopped about 1 1/2" up.  The last piece may need to be trimmed before you add that skinny little edge strip.  A few Holiday rhinestones finish it off. 

  On my video (scroll down) I used Real Red with the Pool Party & Bermuda Bay.  Which do you prefer?

  This is another of my favorites!  So easy and just plain fun!

  Save

  
  

  I cut random lengths of 1/4" strips and adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black card stock. The greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream set stamped on a 1" X 4 3/4" strip of White CS.  Add this and trim the ends off before you add it to the main Coastal Cabana card base.  

  Here are both versions; which do you prefer?  

  Save

  
  

  • Left features Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
  • Right has Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight.

• More fun cards with leftover paper strips

  April 9, 2021

  I wanted these cards to be bright and happy so I chose my brightest colors of strips! 

  Save

  This first card has 1/4" strips adhered to a White layer 2 1/2" wide.  

  Save

  After I had the White piece covered with strips I trimmed off the excess on the edges and added it to the White card base.  Then I added the pretty dandelion White die-cuts (from the Dandy Wishes dies here).  That stitched greeting tag is from the Hydrangea Dies seen here.  Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins finish it off as well as a twine bow.

  ~~~

  Next is a card with a woven heart.  I think it's pretty neat!  And it looks difficult but it's just a few extra steps to die-cut the shape. *Watch the video below to catch my tips on paper weaving. 

  Save

  
  

  I share a good demo on this technique in the video below.  The strips are 1/2" and the heart shape is die-cut with the retiring Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.  There are 16 dies with lots of heart shapes & borders in many sizes.  

  The pretty textures are from the Little Details embossing folders seen here.  It's just $3.20 right now; while supplies last! 

  Here's the video for all 10 of my paper strips projects!
