Stamp Your Own Patterned Paper & Be Inspired With Templates

Hi stamping friends! It’s Jesi again taking over Jackie’s blog, sharing a new idea for designing cards following Jackie and Dave’s card making templates while shrinking them down to fit onto note cards. As we all know… Jackie loves her Designer Series Paper. So how do you follow her card templates if you don’t have any DSP? You’re going to stamp your own patterned paper to create with!

Two handmade cards stamped with the Stampin' Up! Leaf Collection background stamp as a technique to stamp your own patterned paper.

For my project today I’m creating with the Leaf Collection background stamp. I’m stamping it once as a way to stamp your own patterned paper and then cutting it down to follow two different template layouts. I’m also using the stamp set Simply Said to add my sentiments. This is such a great all-occasion greeting set to have on hand!

Stamp Your Own Patterned Paper Video Tutorial

This project was my very first time creating with a large background stamp. So please bear with me as I create a little slow today! While I was designing this project, I talked to my mom Jackie a lot about how to best stamp such a large stamp. She gave me all her tips and tricks and I’m now ready to share them with you!! So I hope you enjoy, and gain some new confidence to stamp your own patterned paper!

Leaf Collection Note Card Measurements

To make these cards I used Stampin’ Up! Note Cards & Envelopes, these are so easy to create with because the card bases are pre-cut and scored. The first note card layout was inspired by Template #28 from Volume 7 and the second note card layout was inspired by Template #14 from Volume 4 of the card making template series.

Three of the same handmade card layout designed with the Stampin' Up! Leaf Collection background stamp. Each card is a different color and has a different sentiment.

To downsize the original card templates to fit the note cards, here are the measurements I used:

Note Card Template #28 Measurements:

  • Crumb Cake Layer: 3 1/8″ x 4 1/2″
  • Basic White – 4 Pieces: 3″ x 1″

Note Card Template #14 Measurements:

  • Basic White Layer: 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
