Template Tuesday

This is probably one of my favorite card templates. It works with almost any set!This card is on the masculine side, which I didn't intend, but like how it turned out. On a normal day, I can't make a 'guy' card to save my life.... guess I need to not try so hard! This card is made with the Wanted stamp set. The horse has a feeling of movement by stamping it toward the right of the paper first, then repeatedly stamping the image just a little to the left each time. Kinda cool?!This card uses the Simply Said set.... one of my favorites..... I like the color combo.... chocolate chip, certainly celery and pumpkin pie.... that makes me HUNGRY! Chocolate!

Won't you miss these colors..groovy guava and purely pomegranate? Which reminds me... better get your ink refills and cardstock for the retiring in-colors before they are gone. This card is done with the Priceless stamp setI hope you enjoyed these cards today! Make today a wonderful one!!!!

Template Tuesday

Well, I thought I would start some fun new topics for my blog, and with very good intentions, every Tuesday I am going to post a template and a few samples using that template to help you with your creative ideas.

I often get asked, "Deann, how do you come up with your ideas?" And of course my first answer is, "I copy really well!" Then I talk about how I look at our Catalog and find ideas I like, then I ask myself what I like about it..... usually it's one of 2 things... the color combinations or the layout.
So, with that in mind, here is a layout I've been playing with, and a few samples using it.
The card size is 5 1/2" x 6 3/4". Score at 3 3/8" or fold in half. Then, open and lie flat. Using the coluzzle circle cutter, use the 3rd circle ring from the center of the cutting template to cut a semi circle. The half-circle cut should begin and end on the fold. This will make the circle pop-up on the top of the card when folded in half, like the one shown here using the Happy Thoughts stamp set.This card uses the True Friend stamp set
And this card uses the Simply Said stamp set.

Have fun and watch for more cool template ideas to come each week!
