Let's Talk Templates!

Page 24 Templates!

A favorite addition to last year's Annual Catalog was a page filled with card templates!  

And it carried on through the mini catalogs and THIS YEAR's 2025-2026 Annual Catalog!

I was honored to be asked to present about these templates at a recent Great Lakes Demo Gathering.  My friend Steph and I created our versions of two templates (scroll down to see my two cards).  I mentioned that it's hard to just sit down and come up with a card idea.  All artists need INSPIRATION...even Monet had waterlilies to inspire his great works of art!

So a few things about these card (& tag) templates on page 24....

1. Don't be afraid to interpret the template in a different way!
2. Swap out elements for stamping or embellishments!
3. Add some layers to the tag templates to make a card!
4. They're not just on page 24!  Use the samples throughout the catalog as a template!

The Pretty in Pink card above was made for a themed bridal shower.  I'll have to make another one because the next bridal shower I'm attending has the same theme....PETALS & PROSECCO!  Can you guess which template I used?  This card was actually the first thing I imagined for our presentation, but opted for another design!  Get a closer look below!

Here is another with that same template!

And of course....the two I made for our presentation!  First one is based on the same template as the two above!  I swapped out the sentiment on the right for a linen thread bow! 

Which template do you think inspired this cute cupcake card?  You're gonna have to go check out page 24 of the Annual Catalog!  Let me know if you need a copy!
