One Sheet Wonder

Hello stampers! Today's post will feature a One Sheet Wonder technique. I totally copied (with permission) the layout from my friend Susanne. Some demonstrators put together a one sheet wonder technique and then charge to give out the measurements. Susanne is such a sharing person that she has given us the layout and measurements in her video. Here is a link to that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW6H73JkNxY&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0-vETL3g2VluVp99UEW81YvP1TLoK7lwmp_MXkh_g0-Y4FFkCNERXJaic .
When you watch the video, it will help you understand what I have done. This is a really fun way to use up some of that extra designer series paper that you may have or a fast way to make a big stack of cards to have on hand. I got 15 cards out of one sheet of designer series paper plus some cardstock and embellishments. Here are some pictures of what I did.

The first picture is the piece of DSP that I chose to use. It is from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

This is the first cutting of the DSP. I cut the 12 X 12 sheet into three sheets that were 4 X 12.

This is a picture after cutting the three strips into the smaller pieces to use on the cards. I did make an error while cutting my paper. On the middle 4 X 12 strip, I cut the top piece and the bottom piece in half. I should not have done that. I was supposed to cut the two top pieces from the strip on the right in half. I corrected this and carried on following Susanne's directions. I will use up the pieces that I cut incorrectly on another card or maybe two to add to my stash.

After I had all of my paper cut, I assembled the cards using Thick Whisper White cardstock for the card bases. I used Old Olive cardstock to mat some of the pieces of DSP and then added a sentiment that I stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I added some embellishments and the cards were done!  When I was making these cards, I realized that I am desperately lacking in sentiment stamps. Susanne used the Peaceful Moments stamp set for her sentiments. It is a perfect variety of different sentiments. That set will be going on my next order for sure. I used various stamp sets, including some that are retiring as of June 2nd. I used sentiments from Special Celebrations and Beautiful Bouquet (both are retiring); Inspiring Iris, Timeless Tulips, Very Versailles and Celebrate Sunflowers which is a new set in the new catalogue. For my embellishments I used Star Designer Elements and Gilded Gems. The Gilded Gems are also new and were in the early release sale for the Ornate Gardens bundle.

Here is a picture of my finished cards:

What I used to create these cards:

Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper

Thick Whisper White Cardstock

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad

Special Celebrations Stamp

Beautiful Bouquet Stamp

I also used a new stamp set called Celebrate Sunflowers. I can't add a link for this one as it is not available for purchase until June 3rd.

I hope that you will give this technique a try. Thanks for stopping by. Stay healthy and keep creating.
