If you’ve ever sat down to make a card and didn’t know where to start, this easy card making template is exactly what you need. This month’s layout takes the guesswork out and shows you how to create beautiful, balanced cards using pieces you can repeat again and again. I’m also using the same products from last week so you can see just how versatile your supplies really are—no need to keep buying more to get fresh ideas. And if you love having a plan when you sit down to stamp, this easy card making template ties perfectly into this month’s Creativity Made Simple tutorial, where I walk you through even more ways to create with confidence using simple, repeatable designs.
For this card, I kept it simple and coordinated so the template really stands out. I used the Banner Sayings stamp set with Secret Sea ink, paired with Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper for easy pattern and texture. Everything is layered on Basic White and Soft Sea Foam cardstock, with the Three Banner Punch for a quick, polished finish.

What are card templates?
Making handmade cards is simple when you use these templates to spark your creativity. Think of them as your “patterns” for designing cards—whether you want something quick and easy or prefer to step it up to any level of creativity.
Template Tips:
- Adjust the sizes or shapes of the layers to fit the stamps, dies, and punches you’re using.
- Cut layers from cardstock, Designer Series Paper, embossed cardstock, or specialty papers for different looks.
- Rotate the template to create either vertical or horizontal cards.
- Step it up by adding more layers, embellishments, die-cuts, or punches.
