Simple Template with Valley Bloom DSP

This week on Template Thursday with Tammy I will be using this Simple Template with Valley Bloom DSP.  I have also paired it with the Sending Salutations for our sentiment and our label came from the Scalloped Blooms Dies.I accented with leaves using the Boutique Blooms Dies. All these items will be available in my online store starting May 5, 2026.  I really love how you can just take a simple template, change the orientation and it can give you some completely different looks. Each week I hope to inspire you to take that template and make it your own.  Dive into those stamp sets, bundles and dsp and have fun.

Elegant Thinking of You Card

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.

Main Project Dimensions:
  • Main Card Base in Lost Lagoon 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Basic White Panels 4″ x 5 1/4″

I had so much fun finally creating the cover to my Template Binder.  If you don’t know I am am obsessed with Sloths, So, thanks to Chat CPT I had them help me create a fun cover.  My favorite color is Blue and my Brand is Blue Butterflies in honor of my dad.

Template Thursday with Tammy-Valentine’s Day

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.

How to Make 2 Cards Using 1 Simple Layout

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.

  • Very Vanilla inside panel 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Main Front DSP 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Floral Pattern before cutting 4″ x 5 1/4″ (See Guide below)
  • Coordinating DSP 2″ x 3 1/2″
  • Coordinating DSP 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ ( I used a 1/2″ x 4″ on project since I had it already)

I mentioned in the LIVE that you can even create a Christmas Card using one of the patterns from the Brushed with Beauty Designer Paper. The Joy sentiment is from Greetings for You Mix and Match Ephemera, however, it is not available at this time.  You can add whatever sentiment you would like in your circle

 

 

 

I hope that you enjoyed this template.  If there is a template that you would like to try, please let me know.  Don’t forget to leave a comment and let me know which version was your favorite!
