Make something different for your Christmas cards this year – Slimline Cards using a Double One Sheet Wonder Template!!! Its all right here.

Let’s look at the cards first. I am using the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper – but you can any paper.

This time, with an angle cut.

Some strip pieces used for the accent.

Replace the white piece (4-3/4″ x 3″) on these cards with your Christmas photo if desired.

To start, make ten base cards in coordinating colors. Each measures 9″ x 7″ and is scored in half at the 3-1/2″ line.

Next, cut layers for these cards at 8-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ each.

Cut two pieces of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper in half – layer two of these papers on top of each other.

Cut these pieces according to this template. Create your cards.

Click here for a PDF if you want to download the template.

For theses cards, I used sentiments from the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set as well as dies from the Ornate Layers Dies, the Stitched Rectangles Dies and the Tasteful Labels Dies.

The cut out poinsettias are from another of the papers in the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper.

Watch all of these cards being made in the following video.

These four sponging techniques used with the Love of Leaves Bundle are a great way to make unique cards! The first technique is to sponge the same color ink of the cardstock you are using to make the edges pop. (second card)

On this card, Tim stamped the leaf from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, and then used a sponge dauber with Shaded Spruce to dab over parts of the stamp before using it on the cardstock.

This technique is explained in detail in the video below. Sponge the colors you choose on Watercolor Paper, then spritz with water. When that dries, use the dies to cut out the leave.

The “streaking” design on the side of the card is made by running the edge of the stamp pads along the card front.

When you cut out the Stitched Leaves dies, use the leftover card stock as a mask and create cards like this by sponging:

The plaid papers from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper works well with these leaves too. Look how simple this card is.

And this card is the same design as the first card in this post – just done with the plaid paper instead!

Back to the basics – with just the stamps! Look how easy this card is! It looks like you watercolored it – but its just the design of the stamp itself.

Stamping on the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper creates a rich background with just simple stamping.

Eight fun cards using the Nothing’s Better Than bundle! Even a cute Cookie Monster card!

How simple can a card be? What a sweet thank you for that person who took you out for coffee (or tea or hot cocoa)!

If you have little ones in your life who love Sesame Street – here is a cute Cookie Monster card for their birthday or just to include with a real cookie!

When you are on your fifth cup of coffee kind of day …. or the let’s together for coffee kind of day …

Or belly up to the bar at the pool  – a refreshing cocktail card for that friend who is taking a break from real life!

I love the vintage feel of this Nothing’s Better Than bundle!

Random stamping on a Whisper White background creates a fun look. These words were die cut with the …… sheets which gives them that extra lift.

Most of these cards have been paired with the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper – which has that 60’s and 70’s vibe. The colors of cardstock have come from that paper as well.

Have you noticed all of the fun phrases in this stamp set? You will get a lot of use out of it for sure!

Need a Card Kit to grab when you know you will have some waiting time … or when you need a last minute card? Flowers for Every Season is a great choice!

Add some ribbon and the In Color Enamel Dots and you are ready to change up the cards!

These are a few cards to help inspire you. Make your own to fit your needs.

On the card above this and below, I cut out phrases right from a card in the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. What a fun look!

These envelopes are oversized a bit so they really make a statement – so fun to receive in the mail! (Plus they have pretty patterns under the flap.)

These Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes include two of each of the five new In Colors: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight

A set of these would make a great gift too!

This is another set of phrases from this card pack – who wouldn’t use this message?

Think of all the different occasions you could make these cards for.

Put this items in a Full Wide Stamp Case and you have a

Card Kit to Go!

The Dove of Hope stamp is perfect for Christmas, peace on earth cards, and sympathy cards.

This first card is a classic white dove on a blue background. (Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper)

Change it up to a vintage look with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.

Combine The Dove of Hope stamp set with the Beautiful World Bundle for these lovely Peace on Earth cards.

This shabby chic dove was inspired by a card I made in 2012! You can see that post here (and a video from way back then).

When Tim’s mom was close to death, the hospice put angel wings on the door to let everyone know. That was part of the powerful experience I had of sitting by her side for her last month of life. You can read about that here and here.

I love making this card as a sympathy card because it makes me think of her.

This video is from a Facebook Live – so go to 17:54 to see these cards being made.
