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.

  • Golden Honey Scrapbook Class with a kit to go option


    Scrapbooking was my first paper crafting hobby. Now I spend a lot more time making cards than I do scrapbook pages.

    I just knew the Golden Honey specialty designer paper would make gorgeous layouts!  This designer paper is no longer available during Sale-a-Bration but I have a supply of it for these classes. 

    I made 5 beautiful, unique layouts with 12 X 12" card stock.  Because this paper is black and white based with some gold accents I could add lots of fun colors to create my layouts.  I LOVE black and white with a pop of color on my projects! 

    Here's a full view of two of them.  This first layout has Bermuda Bay as the main color with the Detailed Bee dies.  The page title is from the Hand-Lettered Prose dies seen here. 

    Here's another one in all black and white with gold accents.  I added daisy punched accents on this page.  

    There isn't any stamping on these pages; it's all pre-cut, punched or die-cut pieces. It also includes the embellishments too. All you need is adhesive so it's perfect to finish up at home!  

    The class is on Saturday, March 28th at 2 pm.  The cost is $25 for all 10 pages.  It's also available as a kit to go for both local and long distance customers.  It's an extra $5 for shipping.  RSVP by March 19th to receive a kit.  

    The kit includes everything you see; pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, photos and tips on assembly.  Kits are mailed out at the end of March.

  • Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!


    Do you struggle with double sided designer paper?  What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use?  Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

    I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders.  They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant! 

    On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

    The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

    The front right panel opens on just one side.  It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.  

    The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents. 

    Which is your favorite?  

    Measurements:

    • Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper on the left is 3 1/4" X 4"; card stock on the right is 1 7/8" X 4"
    • The inside white layer is 3 1/4" X 4"
    • Melon Mambo banner is 1" X 4 1/4"

  • Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels


    This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month.  It's also free to anyone who places an online order.  *Details below

    Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder. 

    The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online. 

    You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background.  I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder.  Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock.  Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool.  Such a fabulous look!

    The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last.  It's already on the low inventory list! 

     

    Other details:

    • Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
    • The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies. 
    • The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)
