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.

Project Dimensions:
Card Base in Mossy Meadow 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Stamp Sentiment for inside and adhere to cardbase first. THIS MUST BE DONE FIRST
Then adhere front panel before working on pop up portion. This is optional, but easier
POP UP BAG SCORING:
Along the 11″ side score at 1/2″, 1″. 5″. 5 1/2″, 6″, 10″ and 10 1/2″
Rotate: score at 1/2″ This will be the bottom of your bag, so if you are using directional paper, keep that in mind
CUTTING FOR BAG:
I show this tip on the video, you can use scissors, but found that cutting with the trimmer is easier. We are removing the Top 2 sections, the middle 2 sections, and the bottom 2 sections.
Line up your 1/2″ Score line in trimmer and cut down to 1″
Line Cutting Blade at 5″ and cut down to 6″
Line Cutting Bade at 10″ mark and cut down the rest of the way
USE Snips to cut up recently cut score marks and remove top, middle, and bottom. You template should look like the image below
This is why you need to do the insert for the card first…..
