I have seen so many one sheet wonder designs out there
I decided to try out some. This one is
actually one I created using some card layout ideas I had previously used to make cards and then it was simply a matter of determining how to get the most out of my Designer Series Paper (DSP). The paper I used come in 12 x 12” sheets (I
love this paper and I am so sad it is retiring on June 3rd so if you
love it as well be sure to order it right away) so I was able to create a total
of 5 cards from ½ sheet (or if you want to be super-efficient you can cut two
at a time and use up a whole sheet of DSP and end up with 2 each of 5 cards or
a total of 10 stunning cards). I will
say it works best if you like both sides of your paper and the coordinate well
(thankfully that is a strong spot at Stampin’ Up!) but if not, you could also use
two different DSP’s and have 20 cards when you are done. The options are pretty limitless.
Let’s start by cutting our paper, here is the template I created to help you figure out the cutting…
The
first card we are going to create uses the following pieces, the 1 x 3 ½”, 1 ½ x
2 ¾”, 3 ½ x 2 ¾” and the 1 ½ x
1” pieces. I started with a card base
that measured 5 ½ x 8 ½” that was scored at 4 ¼” that was cut from Real Red card stock. I added a layer of Daffodil Delight that
measured 4 x 5 ¼” and then just fit the rectangles on as shown in the photo
below. I added a Real Red circle that I
punched using the 2 ¼” circle punch. The
sentiment was cut out using one of the stitched circles from the Stitched
Shapes dies (this sentiment is actually from a great digital stamp set “Share
Sunshine PDF Download” being offered by Stampin’ Up! as a charity fundraiser for
Covid 19, you purchase it, download it and then just print it out on Whisper
White card stock and there are pages and pages of awesome sentiments so appropriate
for this time). I did add one of the adorable
little Tropical Oasis Trinkets (there are a total of 24 pieces in the set with
6 each of 4 designs). I just popped the sentiment
right up on the card using Dimensionals.
For the second card I used the 1 ¾ x 2 ¼”, 1 ¾ x 1 ½”,
1 ½ x 3 ¼” and the 2 ¼ x 3 ¼” pieces. This
time I started with a Daffodil Delight card base that measured 5 ½ x 8 ½” scored
at 4 ¼”. I added a Real Red card stock
layer that measured 4 x 5 ¼” to which I adhered my DSP rectangles as shown in
the photo below. I then wrapped a piece
of the 3/8” Real Red Cotton Ribbon around this layer and tied a square knot. I then adhered this layer to the card
base. I die cut a piece of Daffodil
Delight card stock and another of the sentiments from the Share Sunshine PDF
download using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
I adhered the Daffodil Delight right onto the card front and then popped
up the Whisper White with the sentiment using Dimensionals.
Card 3 has to be one of my favorites. As many of you know my husband and I were on
our way to a Caribbean cruise (we were actually in Puerto Rico) when Covid 19
erupted and our cruise was cancelled. I
had purchased a fair amount of this product suite planning to do some serious
scrapbooking when I got home. But that
was not going to be the case so as they say when you get lemons make lemonade
so this card is my crafty lemonade. It
uses a single piece of the DSP that would be the one that measures 2 ¾ x 3 ½”. I started with another of the Real Red card bases,
this one measured 4 ¼ x 11” and was scored at 5 ¼”. I cut the next layer from Daffodil Delight to 4 x 5 ¼” and then embossed it using the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (this
one is retiring and that is really too bad because it is a great folder) and
adhered it to my card base. I added a piece
of Real Red card stock that measured 3 x 3 ¾” which I turned a little crooked
(the truth is that as I was laying the card it landed this way on my stamping
table and I realized I loved the look) and then I added the DSP. I stamped the flower using Tuxedo Black Memento
ink onto Real I adhered the flower using a dimensional and the leaves and
sentiment using liquid adhesive. I added
one of the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of the flower and three
more in the corner. You really can’t see
it in the photo but in real life the flower is nice and glittery looking thanks
to my trusty Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
Card 4 is another that uses a single piece of the DSP,
this time it is the 3 ½ x 3 ¼” piece.
The card base was created from a piece of Crushed Curry card stock that
measured 5 ½ x 8 ½ and scored at 4 ¼”. I
cut a piece of Real Read card stock that measured 3 ¾ x 3 ½” and adhered the DSP
onto it. I centered that on the card base
and adhered it. I added the same flower,
leaves and rhinestones we used in the above card onto this card. I stamped the sentiment (also from that same
stamp set) onto a piece of Real Red card stock and punched it out using the
Timeless Label punch. I wrapped a length
of the 5/16” Braided Burlap Trim that coordinates with this suite around into a
bow and adhered it under the sentiment.
Because the trim is so thick I had to pop the sentiment up by stacking
two layers of dimensionals on the back.
So onto our 5th and final card. This one is a pretty straight forward
card. The only thing on it that can not be
purchased before June 3rd is the punch I used which is called Lovely
Labels (you will be seeing a lot of projects from me over the next few months
using this awesome punch, more to follow).
This card uses our final piece of DSP (no actually there is one little
scrap we are not using) and it measures 2 ¼ x 4 1/4”. I started with another of the Real Red
card bases that measured 4 ¼ x 11” and was scored at 5 ½”. I adhered the DSP onto a piece of Crushed
Curry card stock that measured 2 ½ x 4 ½” and I centered that at the top of my
card as shown in the photo. I then cut a
piece of the Crushed Curry card stock that measured 4 ¼ x 1” and stamped my
sentiment again using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I then cut the ends using that great new
punch. I stamped and die cut three of
the flowers which I again used the Wink of Stella on. I adhered two directly onto the card and
popped the third using a dimensional. I
added four leaves (also from the same die set) that I just tucked under the
flowers. The red rhinestones just finish
the card off.
I hope you enjoy these cards and find this one sheet
wonder to be a great starting point for many more cards. Stay tuned over the next few weeks as I start
making cards using this one sheet wonder and more with some great new products
being offered in the new Annual Catalog.
