craftwithronnie : My 6 x 12" One Sheet Wonder Template

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 3^rd 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 5^th and final card. This one is a pretty straight forward card. The only thing on it that can not be purchased before June 3^rd 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. I will list the supplies I used below and you can find the supplies for this card and many more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog.
