Template Tuesday With a Twist cards...

 Here are the cards we made last night in my Stamp With Shel Template Tuesday With a Twist Class:


This is the template I followed.

This is the first card following the template. I used To Market DSP and Go To Greetings.

We followed the template to create two cards. The twist was that the happy birthday card follows the color challenge for Global Design Project Challenge #449.

Template Tuesday Free Online Class- cards and video replay...

 



Last night was my weekly free online card class, and Template Tuesday! 

The cards I made last night were made following this template:


So simple....just a card base with a circle on it.  

The recipe for this template is: 

Card Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 score 4 1/4
Circle: 2"


 You could simply make a card like this...or use the template as inspiration and let your creative juices flow.  

Here is what I came up with: 


I added an embossed mat layer- Dotted Circles 3D. 

I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to make some fancy detailed circles.  

I added a stamped leaf from Spotlight on Nature and the greeting from Wanted To Say dies. 

The DSP that the leaf is stamped on is from Wildly Flowering. 

 


For this next card I flipped the sketch horizontally. 

Again I used the same DSP and the same die pack, and the same Wanted to Say dies.

The embossing folder is Layered Florals 3D.

Creative Challenge For June

 

ENJOY CREATIVITY
Creative Challenge for June
June’s Creative Challenge is a great one—and it sends us straight into the pages of the new May 2024–April 2025 Annual Catalog!

The catalog is full of beautiful samples that can provide you and your customers with endless creative inspiration.

And, have you seen the 20+ card templates at the bottom of page 22?

These super-helpful patterns can streamline your card-making process, so all you have to do is choose which fabulous new stamps, ink colors, Designer Series Paper, and embellishments you’ll use with them.


For today’s post, we chose to feature two cards made using these templates.

First up: the You’re Such a Blessing card with its showstopper focal point. We think it does a perfect job of highlighting the caring sentiment from the Grateful Blessing Stamp Set.

To achieve this card’s sophisticated, distressed look, emboss Crumb Cake Cardstock using the Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, then rub VersaMark ink over the embossed paper. Cut the circle for the sentiment using the Spotlight on Nature Dies to get those intricate and lovely border details. And those tasty-looking citrus fruits, plus their leaves and flowers? They were simply fussy cut from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. Cards come together so easily when you have a pattern to follow!

The Hey, You Can Do This card features another template with lots of fun layers—and it’s very easy to CASE.

To get the look featured here, use the Saying Hey Stamp Set, the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Country Lace and Full of Life Designer Series Papers, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (white), Blueberry Bushel, Coastal Cabana, and Pool Party Cardstock, and Ombre Matte Decorative Dots. It’s a perfect mix of products, and with the template as your card making guide—you can’t miss!

Have fun using these amazing templates! We hope you’ll choose one (or both!) of the sketches we featured today, make a project with it, and share it using the #CreativeChallengeSU hashtag. We can’t wait to see it on social media!
