How I Created a One Sheet Wonder with 6 x 6 Designer Paper!

Good Morning!

Yes, it's another day with a forecast of yet more snow coming tomorrow afternoon.  But on the bright side, it's 1 day closer to Spring!

So, I am focusing on some beautiful new designer paper that just "screams Spring"!  

You have probably heard of  the One Sheet Wonder cardmaking technique, where you choose a 12 x 12 piece of designer paper & chop it up and create a stack of cards.  Well, today's post is focusing on a One Sheet Wonder using a piece of 6 x 6 designer paper and creating 3 cards.  If you used a full sheet of 12 x 12, you could create 12 cards using my template!  When you use both sides of the designer paper, you can vary your creations, and in this case, make some masculine cards in the mix.

Ok, let's get started...

First I chose this beautiful paper from the Sale-a-bration selection Painted Season's Bundle.  It is available for FREE with a $100 product purchase from any current Stampin' Up! products. (yes, that includes Clearance Rack items)

On the left, cut your paper at 2" Vertically.  Then cut in half Horizontally at 3", then the top left piece is cut in half at 1 1/2".

The first card was created from the reverse side of the designer paper.  I used the 2 x 4 piece of designer paper on the top, the 1 1/2 piece on the bottom, & a stamped piece of Whisper White for the sentiment in between the designer paper.  The stamped images are from the Geared Up! Garage stamp set, Cardstock is Call Me Clover, cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.

Card #2 was created with one of the 3 x 4 pieces of designer paper, a 3 x 4 piece of Early Expresso cardstock, Sentiment from Enjoy Life, & cut from the Stitched Shapes Farmelits.  Also added a piece of 1/4" Copper Trim. Card base is Poppy Parade, cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.

Card #3 also uses a piece of  3" x 4" designer paper.  The stamp set is the beautiful Butterfly Gala with the coordinating punch.  Yes, the punch is currently on back order, but it will be available again in March (current projection). I also used the Stitched Shapes framelits (my most used framelits by the way) and Layering Ovals framelits for the Early Expresso layer.  Ribbon is 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.

The Embossing folder is the gorgeous Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the 2nd release, Sale-a-bration offerings.  

Here are all 3 cards....with a  2 x 1 1/2 piece of designer paper left over.

I hope today's cards have inspired you to #loveitchopit 

Have a wonderful day!

Sales Milestone Reached, Thanks to All of You!

Thanks to my wonderful customers, I have reached a Stampin' Up! sales milestone of $100,000 in sales!!!  I am totally blown away!

I have been a part time Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since April 2006, so it has taken a few years to get here.  But I gotta say.... I am so excited to reach this milestone!  

Credit goes to you, my awesome customers.  Thank you so much for supporting my stamping business.  I brings me great joy to share my love of stamping with you.

As my way of thanking you, I would like to offer you FREE SHIPPING on a Stampin' Up! order of $30 or more in the month of February.  To qualify, all you need to do is use my February hostess code UQBZP6KC on an on-line order through my business web site in the month of February.  Shipping will be added to your order, automatically, but I will send you a refund, by check, in the mail.  Note:  If you place an order of $150 or more, I will refund your shipping without your using my hostess code.  And, since it is Sale-a-bration time, you would receive a free Sale-a-bration item if your order totals $50 (merchandise amount).
