One Sheet Wonder

I know…2 posts in one day…a miracle! LOL

A One Sheet Wonder (OSW) is a set of cards made using only one sheet of A4 card as the main focus of the card. You can stamp it or use a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP). This is an example of a OSW using a piece of DSP. I chose a sheet from Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Treasure. I cut the sheet to A4 size and then cut it up into smaller bits. I have a template sheet that I will send to you if you are interested…just send me an email.

 

  

The card bases are all Confetti Cream and I used the colours from the DSP to decorate- Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and Old Olive. I then added some images from my Christmas stamp sets and a variety of embellishments to complete the cards. You can add as many different embellishments that you like..or none at all and just let the feature paper be the star of the card.

It is a very easy way to make a lot of cards  quickly! I hope you enjoy them!

Cheers
