On this week’s Template Thursday with Tammy we are creating the Elegant Thinking of You Card using the Lovely Arrangement Bundle from Stampin’ Up! I had fun pairing it with Nature Walk Designer Paper to give it a nice soft look.
During my LIVE I created using Lost Lagoon for my Bases instead of the Thick Basic White.
One thing that I am newly loving is creating a template for my dies. I am really bad at not utilizing the potential of the dies, so cutting them out and putting them on a piece of cardstock really helps with my creative process. Here is the Die Cut Sampler I created for the Lovely Arrangement Bundle.

TO Welcome back to Template Thursday with Tammy! I am so excited to be sharing this again with you, however, this time l am sharing my very own card templates for 2026. One of my favorite things about card making is showing how versatile a single layout can be. Especially when you get in that creative funk. That’s exactly what Template Thursday is all about: 1 template, 2 ways — using the same measurements to create two completely different looks.
In this first episode, we’re creating a simple and beautiful Valentine’s Day card using supplies from the Made with Love Suite Collection This template is perfect for mixing and matching patterns, colors, and sentiments to make it truly your own.

In last week’s Template Thursday with Tammy we learned how to make 2 cards using 1 simple layout. Each week I love by how just changing this one simple way of changing up the orientation can completely change the look. I’m featuring the gorgeous November Online Exclusive Brushed With Beauty Suite , but what makes this template truly shine is that it works with ANY Designer Series Paper. I even share with you at the bottom, that you can even use this beautiful DSP as a Christmas Card.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and today’s projects are extra special. I’ll be creating with the heartfelt Love & Courage Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! — a meaningful part of their Make a Difference Campaign. With every Love & Courage stamp set sold, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to support breast cancer awareness and research. Together, we can craft and make a difference.
I had so much fun creating with the Love & Courage Stamp Set, that I created 2 Alternate Samples from my original designs.
