2 Quick Easy Templates

This week on Template Thursday with Tammy I have 2 Quick Easy Templates for you.  What I love about these 2 quick easy templates, is that you can have any theme with these.  I just happen to be in a fall mood right now, so of course I am using the Gathering Moments Online Exclusive Bundle.

The templates I have chosen this week, are from my favorite, Mojo Monday.  What I love about their templates, they show the dimensions.  I did not go rogue this time and decided I loved the exact dimensions.  I can’t wait to play with this for Christmas for sure.  Feel Free to print out your templates or your own binder.  I did share my binder with you at the end of the live, but I will be revising it to share with you  next week.

Ink Swipe Technique.

On my YouTube Live yesterday, I shared the Ink Swipe Technique with 3D Embossing Folders.  Although I showed the Ink Swipe Technique on both the Happy Hibiscus 3D Embossing Folder and the upcoming brand new Online Exclusive Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (Avail to purchase on July 1m 2025), the Sunflower was clearly my favorite and the most addicting!!  I have cut these panel to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ size.  Since the Sunflower Embossing folder is a larger folder you can fit 2 panels and emboss them both at once.

Using your favorite Designer Paper can be a game changer for a different look.

 

 

I had so much fun coming up with the different color combos.  It was so hard to narrow down my top 4 cards, but I think these are my top 4 favorites.

 

 

I have mentioned my card candy bowl in many video, but since this technique was so addicting and fun, I have decided to create a “Card Candy Box” to go with my “Card Candy Bowl”.  This technique is perfect to create a bunch of card fronts to have on hand and then add your sentiment for when you need that last minute Birthday Card, Friendship Card, Sympathy, Thinking of You, whatever the occasion might be.  It is always so fun to get a hand made card in the mail.

 

 

I want to thank my dear friend Patty Bennett for the most fun and addicting technique, I have done in a long time.  Be sure to check our here replay and amazing projects HERE  If you love this embossing folder as much as I do, I would highly recommend ordering it as soon as you can.  I have a feeling this is going to be a super popular folder.   I will be posting different color combos over the next several months, so be sure to subscribe to my blog and free newsletter, as I will be sharing my favorite’s. Let me know what your favorite color combo you would try is 

 

Hugs, Tammy
