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.

Parisian Party

Here's what we made at Stamp Camp last Sunday!  I just love me some cherry blossoms and anything French...so the Parisian Blossoms Suite is right up my alley!  I am so thankful for creative demonstrators that share their creative ideas for those times when I need some help.  Card #2 is from a Stampin' Up! artist,  Card #1 is "cased" from here, and Card # 3inspiration here.

I just may have to have a Parisian Party 2.0 with more projects...and another excuse to eat more madeleines!
