One Sheet Wonder Tips Tutorial Explanation Video

There's also a new card in this video.Sale-A-Bration is over, but most customers still have several of the papers to use, so I made another card using the Botanical Butterfly paper.  This gatefold does not have a belly-band to keep it closed--the left butterfly has the sentiment layer tucked under it for a softer, sweeter look.

One Sheet Wonders #5 leftover strips Botanical Butterfly Gala

For the final card, we're using up the remainder strips.  I think it is especially lovely with this designer series paper.  I just added a small mail image and sentiment to complete the card.  Another small strip was used to add interest to the inside of the card without adding much additional wait which is a consideration if you are mailing the card.

I love coloring these butterflies!!

One Sheet Wonder OSW #4 Painted Seasons

This template above is not meant to be printed and cut along the lines.  The measurements are correct, but the proportion may not be.

Today I'll show you some ways I use the bottom right quadrant. The 1-3/4" X 2-3/8" rectangles can be matted directly onto the 5-1/4"X 4" layer  as shown or...

 You can mat them onto a smaller layer which can be layered further for more interest and color. You will need to use these pieces in the direction of the pattern if there is one.

Tomorrow will be the final post for the One Sheet Wonder Series. I will simply use the 4 strip remainders on a card.

One Sheet Wonder Post #3 OSW Painted Seasons

This template above is not meant to be printed and cut along the lines.  The measurements are correct, but the proportion may not be.

1. Cut vertically at 4". 

2. Cut horizonatally at 5-1/4".

Now, you will have 4 rectangles/quadrants.

The bottom left quadrant is today's post.  The 1-1/4" squares can be used in a row of three or alternated with another image as I did below.

This notecard seemed perfect for sending a quick note, so I didn't add a sentiment.  Under the succulents and squares is the backside of the Christmas print from designer series paper (dsp) in the large size piece.  It picks up the colors nicely.

This card layout/design is by Simone Bartrum. I loved the opportunity for using patterned paper that it provides.  I shortened the piece on the right of the quadrant and cut down leftover pieces from other quadrants to add the designer series paper to the small flaps.

I had so many beautiful papers from Sale-A-Bration this year that I thought making One Sheet Wonder Cards would really liven up both my blog and my newsletter.  The Botanical Butterfly and Painted Seasons papers have gorgeous designs that perfect for showcasing in One Sheet Wonder style cards.

One Sheet Wonder OSW Post #1 Butterfly Gala Painted Seasons

One Sheet Wonder Cards are a wonder-ful way to use (rather than hoard forever) the wonder-ful papers we earned from Sale-A-Bration this year.  The Botanical Butterfly and Painted Seasons papers have gorgeous designs that perfect for showcasing in One Sheet Wonder style cards.

This template above is not meant to be printed and cut along the lines.  The measurements are correct, but the proportion may not be.

Why 8-1/2" X 11" instead of 12" X 12"? When making "custom" designer series paper using stamps, it is easier to use 8-1/2" X 11", and I find the pieces this size template creates easier to manage. I'm lazy like that! :D Other the next few days, I'll you several patterns of paper for these cards, but typically one makes an entire set of these cards in one pattern.  When a stamper uses only one pattern for all seven cards, it is perfect to put in a clear bag or cute box as a small gift for someone.

To begin, make your quadrants which aren't exactly the same size.

1. Cut vertically at 4". 
2. Cut horizonatally at 5-1/4".
Now, you will have 4 rectangles/quadrants.

3. Cut the top left 4 X 5-1/4 inch quadrant on the diagonal.

This first card addresses the top left quadrant.  If you'd like to make a card as shown in the Painted Seasons Coral Floral card, you'd need to cut two of the quadrants on the diagonal.  You could select your least favorite of the other design quadrants and just not use it.

This card shows that you can use both sides of double-sided paper. The other side of this floral paper is polka dots and would also make a lovely card! (The Highland Heather piece is a full sheet of 5-1/4" X 4". It could also just be cardstock in a matching color.)

This photo shoes that I lined up the scalloped edge and ran it through the Big Shot twice to make it longer. I then attached it to the back of the floral with the white background.  I then used Tear and Tape on just the bottom and side to create a little pocket when adhered onto the Highland Heather layer of course.

Painted Seasons Part of my Story Woodland Weaving

In the second of the posts I am making about One Sheet Wonders, I used the bottom right quadrant to create this card using the Woodland/Mushrooms/Autumn pattern from the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper.  This four rectangle design is on a piece of 5" X 3-3/4" Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  The little mushrooms are adorable to me.

I included this second picture because the rectangles will always look better/neater/more symmetrical on the larger 5-1/4" X 4" layer shown below, but I felt I needed the Crumb Cake layer above to make the card less loud and reduce the clash between Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade.

This close-up shows that I used the Poppy Parade marker to highlight "you" amidst the Crumb Cake sentiment.  Then the Story Label Punch adds interest on top of a Poppy Parade Oval.  The Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie markers were used to make a gradient on the leaves stamp and dies at the top right and bottom left.  Old Olive and Crumb Cake Linen Thread was used to create a design under the sentiment layer. I like the idea of "weaving" the thread into the story.

Be sure and check back on Tuesday for the next One Sheet Wonder card due to Simple Sunday and More Monday.
