Okay this is the last set that I have done recently so I promise to take a few months before sharing more of these! 🙂 The One Sheet Wonder Technique is just sooooo much fun and I have needed some gifts lately which these are perfect for! A few weeks ago, I attended Spring Into Stamping (check that out here) and I stayed at my friend’s house that weekend! Of course I wanted to give her a little gift for her hospitality! Since she is getting married soon, I know she will be sending out lots of Thank You Notes so this was perfect!
Look at all of these cards!!! That is correct, I got 14 cards out of one sheet of 12″ x 12″ Real Red Designer Series Paper. My friend’s favorite color is Red so that is why I chose this paper! I used Whisper White for all of the card bases which made these even easier to wipe together! Her and her fiance’s initials are M and R and their last name will be W. I used the Sophisticated Serifs Stamp Set which is in the Occasions Mini Catalog. The little plus sign was from the April Paper Pumpkin Kit! I had just received that in the mail and when I was thinking about these cards, it popped in my head that that image would be perfect! Love it!!! I used the 2″ Circle Punch, 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch for all of the letter layering! Here are some more close up photos!
Some of the cards used the front side of the paper and some used the back side! I love how all of the cards are very similar but a little different. I layered with a little bit of Real Red cardstock!
You can check out more samples using the One Sheet Wonder Technique here and here! You can also see the Template for cutting the Designer Series Paper here! I have also done lots of videos on this technique which you can see here! I hope you are enjoying this technique as much as I have! Leave me a comment down below on which one your favorite is!
I have done so many sets of cards using the One Sheet Wonder Technique! It is just so much fun and it is great to get lots of cards from just one sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper!! You can check out more samples here and here! I created this set with all Thank You greetings because it will be a Bridal Shower gift for a friend of mine! I love it!!! Here is the template for cutting the piece of 12″ x 12″ Something Borrowed Designer Series paper!
Now for a close up on those cards so you can see all of the details!
I used the Million and One Stamp Set and Lovely Amazing You Stamp Set! The colors I used were Pool Party and Whisper White! Since I narrowed it down to those two colors it was really simple to just pull out my scrap bags in those colors and some full sheets and I was able to get started! For the embellishments, I used a few flowers punched out with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and Pearls! I also added some of the Pool Party Cotton Ribbon! I love this ribbon because it is soft and easy to use. It also isn’t super wide or thick to cause a lumpy spot on your card!
You will see on many of these cards, I used the Fork Bow Technique to create those little bitty bows which are just precious! You can see a video tutorial on how to make those here! Also, I used the Decorative Label Punch and Artisan Label Punch for the greetings on a few of them! I love how each card is different but yet uses the same colors and style! I love them!
If you would like to see these cards in action, I created a Video to show them off! You can check that out below! Don’t forget to subscribe to My Channel so you don’t miss out on any future videos!
Have you tried out this technique yet? What are you waiting for? Leave me a comment below what Designer Series Paper you plan on using for this technique!
Happy Tuesday!!! I have a fabulous technique to share with you today and I’m sure you are just as excited as I am because I know you all LOVE the One Sheet Wonder Technique!!!! I just can’t get enough of this technique because it is so much fun and it is so very simple…..once you figure out the template. 🙂 hehe No worries, I have this fabulous template created for you AND a video!!!
Look at all of these cards!!!!! I was able to get 15 cards out of one sheet of the 12″ x 12″ Back to Black Designer Series Paper!!!! Love it! I also love that you can pick a color or 2, a greeting stamp set and you are all set to create! Let’s get started!!!
Of course you can pick any of your favorite greeting stamp sets or one specific greeting that you need to make lots of cards with! The colors that I used are the 2013-2015 In-Colors which are Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana, and Strawberry Slush! I used the markers to color in the Back to Black Designer Series Paper on some of them!!! I love that!
Okay lets get started on the cutting on your Designer Paper first! Starting with a sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, you will cut at 5-1/2″. This creates a 5-1/2″ x 12″ strip which you will then cut at the following numbers: 4-1/4″, 2-1/4″, 2″, 1-3/4″, 1-1/2″ and you will be left with a little piece that is 5-1/2″ x 1/4″. If you wanted to you could add that 1/4″ onto one of the other pieces (except the 4-1/4″ because then it wouldn’t work). Now set all of those pieces aside and pull in your leftover piece which measures 12″ x 6-1/2″. You will cut at 4-1/2″ all the way across giving you a piece measuring 12″ x 4-1/2″ and then you will cut at the following measurements: 3-1/2″, 1-1/2″, 1-1/2″, 2″, 2″, and 1-1/2 will be left. Now you can cut one of the 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ pieces down to just 4-1/4″ and the other one down to 4″. One of the 2″ x 4″ pieces will need to be cut in half to make Two 2″ squares. That last piece that is 4-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ needs to be cut into Three 1-1/2″ squares. All of those little pieces you cut off can be tossed or used on another project OR you can leave some of them and work with a larger piece. Now that top piece that you have left over which measures 2″ x 12″ can be used for more cards like in the set above, I cut it into Two 2″ x 4-1/4″ and the last piece is 2″ x 3-1/2″. That is how I got 15 cards. You could also use that piece as a belly band around a box or cellophane bag that you stick all of the cards in as a gift. You can do whatever you would like with that piece!!!
Now some close ups on the cards…..sorry for the long post today. I hope you are still with me! 🙂
I love the Man Cards that I created with this set, I think I could do an entire sheet of Man Cards with this technique just to get me though a few months of Birthdays!
As you can see some of the…chevron? checker?…whatever that pattern is called….I colored in with my Markers and some of them I left white!
Oh how you know I love my flowers! I colored these in with the Markers! Also, that little Coastal Cabana strip on the left side card is only about 3/4″ wide. It is a scrap piece that I had leftover from another project. Use up those scraps on simple cards like these!!!
As you can see, I didn’t color the flowers on these and they look fabulous as well!
This is the piece that was cut diagonal. You can tear it as well if you would like!
Same style of card but one is colored and one just has a border! Love them both!
I actually didn’t use that 3rd 1-1/2″ square because I added my greeting on there. You can always mix it up and cut larger pieces into little squares like this or leave it long. Mix it up and have fun with it! I love it!!!!
Here is a little Video Tutorial for you to follow along with as well! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don’t miss out on any of the videos! Click here to subscribe!
I have 2 more sets of these fabulous One Sheet Wonder Techniques so stay tuned. If you want to see some of them that I have done in the past, click here!
Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you today. While it might not require a lot of tools or create a specific effect on your project, it will create a WOW!!!!! I love One Sheet Wonder Card Sets because you can get LOTS of cards from just one sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Well today I’m going to show you how you can get about 40 cards with one pack of the All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack. How amazing is that? Now I know 40 cards sounds like a daunting task but not when you are making multiples of the same style and when you are only sticking with a few colors.
You have seen me post about these cards over the past week. You can check out those individual posts here:
All of these cards use less than one sheet from the All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack so that means I was able to create 4 each of these 6 cards (4 sheets of each pattern in the stack)! That makes 24 cards!!!!! Of course, all the left over scraps could be used for another card, right?
How cute are these??? All of the strips are 1/2″ wide. I started with one strip towards the middle and stuck it down. Then I just worked my way out. There is no true technique to this, just play around and stick some strips of paper down! You could do this with any scrap pieces of Designer Series Paper you have laying around! 🙂 I know you have some! Some of the cards, I stuck to a few colors and others I used all of them! After you lay a few strips down, trim the edge and you can use that piece in another spot.
I was able to create 6 cards in this style so now we are up to 30 cards from the All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack. There is still three patterns (4 sheets each) left in the stack as well as scraps. That is where you get the last 10+ cards. You could use these to re-create some of the styles above or create something totally new. Again, after you are done using the big pieces, use the scraps for more quilt cards!

HINT: More One Sheet Wonders are on the way!
One of the reasons I love this style of card making is that I knew the colors I would be working with because they are listed on the front of the All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack so there was no guessing or wondering. I pulled out those ink pads and cardstock as well as a few of my favorite greeting stamp sets and went to work! Also, I love that I was able to create cards for all occasions – Man Cards, Girl Cards, Birthday, Sympathy, Wedding, and Just Because! Love it!!!
This card is so simple yet so stunning! I am starting to think that a simple card has more of a WOW factor than some of those cards with lots of embellishments and layers. The blues in this card make me swoon! The card base is Lost Lagoon and I layered the All Abloom Designer Series Paper (3-7/8″ x 5-3/8″) on a piece of Island Indigo (4″ x 5-1/4″)! I stamped my greeting from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set onto some scrap Whisper White and punched it out with the Modern Label Punch and attached it to the card flat. Gasp….I know I didn’t use a Stampin’ Dimensional but don’t worry the flower was attached with one of them! 🙂 I punched out the flowers with the Petite Petals Punch and Itty Bitty Punch Pack! Of course I finished it off with a Pearl! This type of card would be great for lots of different occasions. What occasion do you think it would be best for – Birthday, Wedding, Sympathy, Baby?? Leave me a comment down below!
I have to point out that this amazing All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack is retiring and it is 50% off. You can get it for less than $4.00 (US). That is AMAZING! If you would like to see more samples using this paper, check out this post, this post, and this post! Get it now before it is gone!
I did another set of One Sheet Wonder cards!!! I can’t help myself! It is so much fun and so simple to make a lot of cards in a little amount of time! I was able to get 15 cards out of this One Sheet of 12″ x 12″ piece of Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper (retiring soon)!!!!
Aren’t these just AMAZING! For this set, I used a lot of both sides of the paper! I just love this paper! My card bases were Bermuda Bay, Primrose Petal, Summer Starfruit, and one Crisp Cantaloupe!!! I used greetings from Label Love and Lots of Thanks! Of course I used the coordinating punch, the Artisan Label Punch too! Here is a more up-close look at most of them!
Of course you can check out other One Sheet Wonder Samples here, here and here! And if you would like to see the Video Tutorial for dimensions and how-to, then click here!!!!
There was just too many amazing cards to make just one post about these amazing One Sheet Wonder cards so I am sharing more with you today!!!!
The card on the right is the only one that I used the other side of the paper! I just LOVE those blue and green flowers and could hardly bare to cover them up even though the polka dots are fun too!!!
I am loving the ripped paper look on these cards! See how they are all similar but just a bit different!!!
It’s like a puzzle! I love how the image matches up and has just a bit of spacing between the pieces of Designer Series Paper!
This card is so simple yet elegant – perfect for a Wedding, Bridal Shower or Engagement (I like how I went backwards with that one.) 🙂
Happy Tuesday!!!! You know what that means…..I am sharing a fabulous technique with you!!!! Every time I have had a One Sheet Wonder Class, everyone goes crazy for it!!!! I mean look at these fabulous cards!!!
The reason it is called One Sheet Wonder is because you only use One Sheet!!! I used one sheet out of the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper Pack (You can only get this for 12 more days, click here to order NOW!) I will be so sad when this paper is gone because I LOVE IT!!!! I created 12 cards with my One Sheet of Designer Series Paper but there are some leftover pieces so you could probably get about 14 or more out of the one sheet!
After you cut your Designer Series Paper, pick one or more colors of solid cardstock for your card bases and start assembling!!! It is that easy!!! I used various greetings for all of my upcoming occasions!!!
Yesterday I shared the One Sheet Wonder Technique with you all! You can check it out here! Here are a few more samples!
Once I had stamped all of the One Sheet of cardstock with the Daydream Medallion Stamps and cut up the pieces for each card, then I stamped and die-cut the flower pieces for all of the cards with the Floral Frames Framelits. Then I worked on the assembly part! Many of the cards have the added texture and color by brushing Baked Brown Sugar on the edges with a Sponge Dauber! Also, you will notice there are LOTS of banners so I stamped and cut out all of my banner tips too! TIP: When cutting your banner tips, its best to cut up in the middle (of the end of the paper) and then cut from the corner diagonally to that cut. This will make your banner tips equal length. Of course the sample on the right here is off. I made my original greeting banner with the tip above and then assembled that with the ribbon and just cut the Crisp Cantaloupe with an edge.
I love how the card on the left is so simple with the One Sheet Wonder piece on the bottom and some stamping on the card and then ribbon! TIP: Sticky Strip works best with the Ruffled Ribbon because it holds strong! These 3 cards were my favorites!!!
I hope you have enjoyed these cards and this technique!
Happy Tuesday!!!! That means I have a fabulous Technique to share with you! This is a great way to create lots of cards at one time using similar colors and style! You can try it out with lots of different images like flowers, doilies, animals, leaves, & shapes!
Here are 6 of the 8 cards and box that were created with the One Sheet Wonder Technique! That’s right, one 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of stamped cardstocked created 8 cards and a decorated box!!!! I used the Daydream Medallion Stamp Set and stamped all over the sheet of cardstock and even used my sponge daubers to add a little color in between the stamped images to add a little rustic, less bold look! Then I cut the sheet of cardstock into all of the pieces that I need for each of the cards. (See the grid to the left for measurements.) After cutting up all the pieces for each card, I stamped and cut out the images with the Floral Frames Framelits which match this stamp set perfectly! Also, all of the colors used for these cards came from the NEW In-Colors – Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Pistachio Pudding! The In-Color Boutique Details were used on some of the flowers but you could also use Antique Brads,Pearls, Rhinestones, or even nothing! It is so great to do all of these cards in matching colors of cardstock and embellishments! I used a few different colors of the Ruffled Ribbon as well. You can pick which ever one is your favorite or use a little bit of each color!
I will be posting more tomorrow so you can see all of the samples and details of these fabulous cards created with just one sheet of stamped 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of cardstock!!!
