Mini One Sheet Wonder

I also did these several months ago. You create a 4.25 by 5.5 designer paper and cut it to create 3 cards. I used the Stampin Up butterfly stamps.

If you make a set, let me know

Have a creative day!

Fancy Folder Card and Tag Caddy

A friend of mine who sells Stampin Up, showed me a card holder she had made several years ago. I wasn't able to find anything like it online so I used some of the measurements off hers and designed this.  I taught it in my card class. It took a couple sessions to get all the cards and tags made. There are lots of pictures here to try and show it. I probably should have just made a video but here it is.

Here is the front of it closed. There is a little piece of Velcro to hold the flap shut. 

And here is a close up of the flap. I used Stampin Up Mixed Bunch stamp set on these and the matching Blossom punch They are a couple of my favorites right now. 

Here is a side view of the caddy. It holds full size cards, gift cards and tags. 

Here is a picture of it opened up.  I think it is sooo fun. And one you have it down, it isn't too hard to create either

Here are the cards we did for it. Very simple card done with a One sheet wonder. If you don't know about  One Sheet Wonders, it is where you stamp a sheet of paper ( or use printed paper) and cut it up in a way that you use all of it up in a series of cards. I will post the cards individually in another post with a close up of the gift cards. 

And here are the gift cards. They are little 3 by 3 cards. Still using the same set of stamps and punch.

I need to do a few more tags. This was a sample of different ideas for the class. 

I designed patterns for the caddy and the one sheet wonder. I will post it in a future post with more pictures

One sheet wonder

I was looking for a way to do a lot of card with my card class and decided to try the one sheet wonder technique. To do this technique, you stamp a full sheet of paper or use a patterned paper and cut it in such a way to get the focus pieces for many cards. In my case, I used the pattern from this website:
http://mutchtostamp.blogspot.com/2007/03/one-sheet-wonder-template.html

She does have an error or two on the template. One measurement is 4.25 when it is listed as 4.5.

I had problems when I cut card 7 pieces so I didn't do that card. I also combined a couple pieces on one card. Finally, I used one card piece for the cover of the card holder. I will be using the 4 cards pictured individually as part of the class and card holder set. The other two are for me and I will be having the class members take those pieces home and doing the last couple of cards there.

Most of the supplies are from Stampin Up. The larger flower is from Stampendous. The crackle background was from I Brake for Stamps. Inks were from Stampin Up, I used Kiwi Kiss and Tempting Turquoise.

I think this technique would be wonderful with a precious piece of printed papers. One of those you loved and couldn't resist. I hope you felt inspired.
