Three-Color Card Club with Circle Sayings

 

Will you join the club? 

The Three-Color Card Club?

With 16 new and returning colors in the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, I thought I'd offer a special kind of club where you can build up your supply on a budget and with some perks!  

Here are the basics...

·        Place an online order for the month (May, June, July, and August) using a specific Host Code by the 15th of the month

·        Choose what you'd like to order from my suggestions for that month or from your own wish list (minimum order is $50 before shipping & tax)

·        No need to commit to all four months, but get a free stamp set ($24 or less) after participating all four months!

·        Three monthly projects (including one fun-fold/technique) will showcase a stamp set and three new/returning colors.  I will provide a video demonstrating the projects.

·        A pdf with detailed instructions including measurements will be emailed to you!

·        Some special gifts are provided to you as a Card Club Member!

My suggestions for your monthly order will include a stamp set, three colors of ink pads, a cardstock pack, ribbon/embellishments, and suggested tools like a coordinating punch.  


HOST CODE for MAY is: VQWUYAJS

Three-Color Cards from Tuesday Night Stampin' Club


Choose your three favorite colors.   Gather ink pads, stamps, greetings, and white cardstock.  Thick Whisper White cardstock is great for non-layered cards. Cut a full sheet of white cardstock in half and score to make a card and just stamp directly on the front. Otherwise cut a whisper white layer at 3-3/4" x 5" and use Dimensionals to attach to card base for added dimension as shown to the right.


Here are some other tips for cutting your white cardstock ahead of time so you can make simple cards quickly when you need them.

Cut a sheet of Whisper White cardstock along the 11" side three times at 2-3/4" so you end up with 4 strips.  You can use those strips as is to stamp images/greetings and punch out.  Or cut at 3-3/4" to create a smaller "canvas" to attach to a colored cardstock base as seen in the card below.


Typically when I use ribbon on a card and I wrap it around, I'll cut the colored cardstock base to be 4-1/4"x 11".  Now on the cards below we stamp on a larger "canvas" using a 4-1/4" x 3-1/2" Whisper White layer.  I chose to not tie a bow with the ribbon since I'll be sending these in the mail, so I just adhered strips of ribbon to the back of the white layer and attached with dimensional (or glue dots) to the card base.

For the pale yellow roses above, I inked up with So Saffron and "stamped-off" before I stamped the image on the Whisper White CS.  Then used the full-strength to stamp the stamen of the rose.  I really do love the bold greeting from Seriously the Best set.  And which do you prefer?  The thanks in Memento Black from the top card or Basic Gray on the bottom card?

Double Wonder!


I was able to make 11 cards in under 10 minutes per card and it cost me way less than $10!  It was a perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the Great Lakes Region.  Our awesome Demonstrator Development Manager, Shannon West,  hosted a Facebook Live a couple of weeks ago and we all created cards based off of the Double Wonder concept.  The cards above are my first batch.  The cards featured below are my second batch.  Are you interested in making quick cards to send to family, friends, and anyone who needs a little hello?  I'll be walking through the how-to's during my own Facebook Live on Tuesday, April 21 at 7:00 pm.  Join me on FB @SimplySheStamps

You can participate by using your own supplies that you already have or sign up to get the supplies for Magnolia Blooms version shown below for just $5 if you live locally (you will need your own stamps and ink and ribbon may be slightly different).  If you'd like to create with me and need supplies, you'll find the list of what you need down below.  Instructions will be posted here before LIVE event.


Double Wonder Supply List


  • 2 Coordinating Sheets of Designer Paper: will use half of each
  • 6 sheets colored cardstock - in colors to coordinate with the designer paper
  • 2 sheets Whisper White (or Very Vanilla) Cardstock
  • Coordinating Ribbon
  • Greeting Stamps
  • Inkpad - neutral/coordinating color
  • Punch (or die-cut shapes) to fit your greetings
  • Adhesive 
  • Dimensionals

Here is the template for cutting your 6x12 piece of DSP!

Section 1 (far left): slice at 4-1/2" then cut into 3 strips 1-1/2" wide, and finally cut those in half at 3" so you have 12 strips that are 1-1/2" x 3". Also need 4 pieces of Whisper White that are 5" x 3-1/4".

Section 2 (middle): slice at 4" then trim 3/4" from the top and set aside. Then cut into 4 strips 1" wide so you have 8 strips that are 1" x 5-1/4". Piece set aside (use with 3rd section) is 4" x 3/4".

Section 3 (far right): from bottom cut 2-1/4" and again 2-1/4". You have 4 pieces that are 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" and two leftover pieces that are 3-1-2" x 1-1/2". Cut those in half, you'll have 4 pieces that are 1-3/4" x 1-1/2"...for bonus card.
