One of my favorite things about a card making template is that you don’t have to use it the exact same way every time. The layout and measurements give you a starting point, but changing the papers, colors, stamps, and focal pieces can give the same template a completely different look. That’s exactly what I’m showing you in this video—several ways to use one simple card template so you can pull it out again and again whenever you need a little creative inspiration.
This particular template has two strips that crisscross on the card front, giving you a natural place for your focal point. The circle on the template is simply a guide, so you can swap it out for flowers, leaves, punched pieces, die-cuts, or other cutouts depending on what you’re creating.
Templates take the guesswork out of card making. The measurements and layout expertly designed to take the stress out of creating.
Watch the video to get the measurements and then exchange each piece of the template with your stamps, ink and paper!
For the cards in the video, I used Stampin’ Up!’s Simply Leaves stamp and die set.
*Supplies were available when video was made. If they don’t show up on the list, they are no longer available.
Templates can be used vertically or horizontally! For the layers, you can use cardstock, embossed layers or patterned paper!
Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your cards!
