Hello and welcome to my blog,
I’ve been away for a few weeks but I’m back today to share not one but eight cards using the One Sheet Wonder technique. Have you heard of it? It’s a quick way of making a set of cards from a single sheet of designer paper, usually 12″x 12″ or 6″x 6″ but here I make my own designer paper.
I start with an A4 sheet of whisper white cardstock and randomly stamped the large floral image from Fancy Phrases in Memento ink before adding colour using Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends. Lastly I stamped the splatter from Beauty Abounds in Soft Sea Foam ink to fill the space between the flowers.
Using the template below I cut the sheet into 9 pieces.
The panels measure:-
14cm x 8cm, 14cm x 7.5cm and 14cm x 5.5cm
8cm x 9cm and 8cm x 12cm (trimmed into 2 triangles)
7.8cm x 7.8cm (2 of) and 7.8cm x 5.4cm
Before gluing each piece to a slightly larger mat, I ran them through my embossing machine in the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder. The mats are Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo or Granny Apple Green card to co-ordinate with the blends I used. Four sheets of A4 make the eight card bases; six are Soft Sea Foam and two Thick Whisper White.
The sentiments are all from the Fancy Phrases stamp set. I also used the Tailored Tag and Lovely Labels Take a Pick punches. I stamped loads of the tiny butterflies from Beauty Abounds in memento, fussy cut them and added sparkle with the Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.
I used some of the adhesive backed sequins from my stash along with some white bakers twine. On the last card I used one of the elements from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper.
The video below shows how easy it is to make a bunch of cards using this template. Here’s a photo of all the cards:-
I kept this set more simple with no colouring in. The bases are Soft Sea Foam and White and the mats black. I am really happy with the way these turned out.
