Simple Card Template

This week on Template Thursday with Tammy I am creating a Simple Card Template with Floral Charm Suite.  This Simple Card Template is another sketch from Mojo Monday.  Sketch #524 is the perfect sketch to showcase your favorite designer series paper.

 

 

I decided that the new Online Exclusive Floral Charm Suite was the perfect interpretation for this template.

PROJECT DIMENSIONS:
  • Top Folding Card Base in Misty Moonlight 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Fresh Freesia Panel Embossed in Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder 4″ x 5 1/4″ Blended with Cloud Cover Ink Spot
  • Floral Charm DSP Panels 2″ x 4″ (x2)
  • 2″ Circle from either Spotlight of Nature  (Used in video) or Stylish Shapes Dies in sample above
  • Inside Basic White Panel 4″ x 5 1/4″

I am so excited about the new Online Exclusives.  Not only does it have the Floral Charming Suite as I mentioned in the video, it also has the highly popular and addicting Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.  And if you love Halloween so much, and can’t wait for the Fall, they have an adorable Suite to grab now to create your own Summerween projects!!  In fact, stay tuned for my Summerween Class coming later this month!!!

Jumbo Tags

Today I created Jumbo Tags for the very first time on Episode 3 of Template Thursday with Tammy.  I decided to pull Sketch 4 from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog to create my Jumbo Tags.  1 Sketch, 2 ways.  With this sketch it is perfect to do the same sketch but just make one simple change with the orientation.

 

Two decorative handmade birthday tags on a gray background, featuring pastel cake illustrations, floral accents, and messages like “Blow out the candles!” and “Bestie.” Both tags have pink borders and ribbon ties.

I was inspired by my dear friend Tracy Travis, from Stampin Queen Bee on YouTube, and she also did this sketch and came up with the perfect Template Sizing. The Designer Paper that I am using, is from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack which is perfect to make this adorable jumbo tag.

Dimensions:
  • Main Tag Pretty in Pink 3 1/2″ x 6″
  • 2nd Layer Designer Paper and Basic White Layer for the Back 3 1/4″ x 5 3/4″

 

The sketches can be found on page 24 in the Annual Catalog and if you turn to page 28, you will find 8 more sketch ideas showcasing scrapbook layouts. This sketch is the original orientation.

 

 

A pink gift tag with a gold ribbon features a layered cake on a stand, decorated with flowers and the word Bestie. The background has a subtle script pattern and Tammy Civello CardsByLLC.com is printed at the bottom.

 

Flip it over and add a Basic White Layer to add an additional sentiment and your message.

 

A handmade gift tag with pink edges and HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in blue on a white center, tied with sheer gold and silver ribbon, placed on a textured gray surface.

 

Just by turning the orientation you can get another fun look.

 

A handmade birthday gift tag with pastel cake designs, a pink ribbon, and gold mesh. The tag reads BLOW OUT THE CANDLES! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY with a pink cake illustration and a small blue flower.

2 Cards using 1 Template

Welcome back for episode 2 of Template Thursday with Tammy where we create 2 Cards using 1 Template.  I am using a template from Mojo Monday where I make 2 simple cards using this 1 template.  This is template #533 from Mojo Monday.

 

A card sketch layout featuring overlapping rectangles of various sizes, labeled with their measurements, and a hashtag #MOJOSKETCH533 centered. The design is bordered with dashed lines and includes the Mojo Monday logo at the bottom.

 

Two handmade greeting cards featuring painted white flowers. One card says Congratulations and the other says This is only the beginning of a life filled with love. Both are displayed on a wooden surface.

Simple Template Card

I created this Simple Template Card using the Gallery Blooms stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  This simple template card is video 1 of a Series that I am going to be called Template Thursday with Tammy. This template was originated from Splitcoaststampers. I absolutely love a good template, especially when I get in a creative rut.

There are so many amazing templates out there, whether you are doing one from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, Mojo Monday like I did last week, or Splitcoaststampers like I did today.

 

This Sketch can be found on Splitcoaststampers

 

I used the Gallery Blooms stamp set, and the More Messages for my sentiment.
