Simple One Sheet Wonder using Petal Promenade DSP

Hello. Have you heard of One Sheet Wonders before? For those that haven’t it’s a way to make multiple cards from 1 sheet of DSP.  This is done by cutting the paper a certain way. There are many different ways you can do this. The one I’m showing is simple and easy for beginning stampers. One Sheet Wonder cards can be made using 6 inch or 12 inch DSP. For those cards I’ll be showcasing the 12 x12 Petal Promenade DSP. This DSP can be earned free with an order of 50$ or more during Sale-A-Bration.
Directions for cutting the DSP:
1. Cut the 12x12 piece of paper into 3 4 inch pieces.

2. Cut each piece @ 5 1/4 . You will get 2 from each piece with a small piece left. Save this piece as well.

You now can use these pieces to make several cards. Here are some samples:
Card 1-

Card base- Mango Melody
Layering piece- DSP Rectangle glued to front. I applied a piece of ribbon to the DSP before gluing to the card base.
Sentiment- I stamped the sentiment to the label. (This label is also available free during Sale-A-Bration). I then attached it to the card.

Card 2-

Card base-Fun fold that I showed how to make in February 23 blog. I used Highland Heather cardstock.
Layering piece- I took one of the rectangle pieces and cut diagonally. I glued these to the front of the card base.
Sentiment- I cut a label using the new Story Label Punch. I stamped the sentiment on this then glued
to the card. Make sure you only put glue on one side or you will glue your card shut.

Tomorrow I will share more cards I made. If you need / or want anything go to my website to order. Remember Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st. Use Host Code BGAPMXTJ.

Simple stamping fixer upper/Updates

Good evening . Hope you had a great weekend. I went to the Scrapbook Expo this past weekend . Had a fun time with my sister.
 Today’s card started out one way but ended differently due to ink malfunction on my part. I love the Painted Seasons stamp set and wanted to make a card with the pine cones. It was going to be a simple card using cardstock and ink. While stamping I goofed up on the left side , tried to fix but it looked worse.

So I ended up using Painted Seasons DSP to fix the card instead of starting over.

Materials/Directions
1. Whisper White cardstock for the card base. Cut 81/2 x 51/2. Fold on the 81/2 inch side at 41/2.
Use Soft Suede Stampin pad to stamp pine cones on the card front. I didn’t want a dark color so I stamped off once before stamping on the front. Then stamp leaves with Mossy  Meadow ink.
2. Painted Seasons DSP cut at 3/4 x 51/2. I glued this piece on the left side to hide my mistake. I think it helps the card pop.
If you think it through there always seems to be a way to fix mistakes . You might even like the card more.

Fun Saturday triangle front card

Good day.  Hope you had a great week. Had to change fun Friday to fun Saturday because of technical difficulties. I couldn’t get the pictures to upload.
The last card I made rectangle panel. In this fun fold card I use triangle panels using DSP Botanical Butterfly from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. This paper you can get free with a 50 purchase.
Materials:
-81/2 x11 cardstock. I used Highland Heather
- Whisper White cardstock 51/4x4 for the inside
- Whisper White scrap to punch out for sentiment
- Story Label Punch ( available March 1st)
- 51/4x 4 piece of DSP for the panels. I used Botanical Butterfly DSP I got free from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.
Directions:
1. Score the 81/2 x11 , 41/4 on the 81/2 side and 51/2 on the 11 inch side.

2. Cut diagonally. I did this by hand because paper did not fit in my paper cutter. You get 2 card bases.

3.Cut the DSP diagonally. Make sure the side you want to show is on the bottom when you cut. Glue these pieces to the front.

4. Punch out a label with the Story Label Punch ( or Label Punch you have). Stamp sentiment. I used a sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set available in the Occasions catalog (the Punch is not available).
4. On the inside glue the piece of 51/4x 4 inch piece of Whisper White.
