Card Making Session - OSW Cards - Fundraiser

I have been making cards with a friend once a month.

This is a One Sheet Wonder card kit.  I brought the kit to Compassion House and these are the left overs.  The ladies there wanted the Thank Yous so I have birthday greeting in this set.

These cards are designed with the One Sheet Wonder design which makes efficient use of designer paper.  This my OSW1 layout design for 6x6 inch paper.

The greeting is from the So Happy For You stamp set in the same color as the card was trimmed with scissors to the frame. The greeting is cut to 3 inches. It was then layered onto a square of white card stock.  This layer is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape centered on the card front.

The greetings are for these 2 card are designed with Stampin Up So Happy For You, Owl Occasions and Blooming Marvelous stamp sets.

The designer paper is from the Patterns Print III pack.














These will be in a Greeting Card Gift Set in our fundraising event at Welcome to my Kitchen.  This effort was unsuccessful as only 2 of us brought contributions.

2019 Cardmaking - CH - Class 3

Another session of card making at Compassion House tonight

These cards are designed with the One Sheet Wonder design which makes efficient use of designer paper.  This my OSW1 layout design for 6x6 inch paper.

The designer paper is Stampin Up  Print Pattern in Ruby Red with the matching card stock.  The piece of designer paper is adhered to the right hand side of a wide card. The strip of solid card stock is glued over the left hand edge of the designer paper.

The greeting is from the So Happy For You stamp set in the same color as the card was trimmed with scissors to the frame. The greeting is cut to 3 inches. It was then layered onto a square of white card stock.  This layer is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape centered on the card front.

The greetings are for these 2 card are designed with Stampin Up So Happy For You, Owl Occasions and Blooming Marvelous stamp sets.

The designer paper is from the Patterns Print III pack.

The colors I chose are Certainly Celery and  Almost Amethyst on Lovely Lilac card.

These layouts are very versatile and can be put together wide or tall.  The images can be used for young and older recipients alike.   

One Sheet Wonder - Card Set 4

Another set of cards on which I used this swirly pink burgundy designer paper.  Paper cut with the OSW1 plan.

On this card I changed things up a bit and trimmed the one piece to 4 inches wide added a coordinating piece at the top and bridged the join with a strip of blue card stock. 

Punched the butterfly with Martha Stewart Butterfly from the same color as the top piece of paper.

Adhered it to the card front with Bling Zot.






















You see the long strip turned over on the card to the left and the full 4.25 piece used in the one on the right. 

One Sheet Wonder - Card Set 3

I selected different designer for this set.  Lovely tropical floral pattern in warm tones.

This was cut with the OSW2 layout out plan.  I chose this seafoam green card stock and pea green card stock for this set.

I adhered the paper to the bottom edge of the card and then added an ivory strip at the join.  I created the butterfly with the Martha Stewart Butterfly punch in pink card stock.  Adhere to the card front with a Bling Zot.
















This landscape card got a pink butterfly and the portrait on the right a rust colored one.

One Sheet Wonder - Card Set 2

Another set of cards made with the Disco Ball designer paper.  This time I used the OSW2 cutting plan.

I used Pea Green, Salmon and Brown card bases. 
The designer paper was cut into 2" stripes.  I did not want to cut off the blue end so I glued the strip to the card then trimmed the extra with scissors. 
I cut my 1/2 ivory strip in half and placed one on the top and bottom edge. I added a royal blue butterfly created with the Martha Stewart Butterfly punch.



On the left card I glued the strip on the left and used a rust colored butterfly.

On the right I cut the strip of designer to 4.25 inches. Placed it across the card and added 1/4 inch ivory strips of card stock along with a brown butterfly.

One Sheet Wonder - Card Set1

I am making a set of cards for friends who have lost a loved one this week.

I am using the One Sheet Wonder concept.  For these cards I used my OSW1 layout.  I used a very versatile designer paper with a bunch of colors called Disco Ball by Recollections.

The layouts can be change as desired.  Here I have chosen landscape and placed my designer paper on the left hand side.  I am using ivory card stock strips to coordinate with the designer paper. Here I chose brown but I see that green would have worked well also. On the next set!

I was able to choose 3 different colors for my card bases because of the wonderful colors in the designer paper. I chose blue and salmon. For the bottom 2 I put a brown butterfly created with the Martha Stewart Butterfly punch.  On the first I chose blue for the butterfly.  They are held in place with Bling Zots.

Ready2Go Christmas Stack Kit - Winter Bright

I used the Stampin Up Winter Bright Designer paper which features Wild Wasabi and Bashful Blue.  I selected card stock in the main colors.  I chose a .5 inch red cotton ribbon.  The focal element features large and medium white silk poinsettias with daisy confetti in a coordinating color.  The DSP was cut with a One Sheet Wonder Template.

On this first card I chose to match the DSP with the card color - Wild Wasabi.  I cut the card stock at 4.25W x 11T inches and scored it at 5.5 inches.  I glued the DSP measuring 4.25W x 3.00T inches along the bottom edge.  I adhered the red ribbon over the top edge of the DSP and taped the ends to the inside of the card.  I used a push pin to make a hole in the ribbon and card front and the red daisy confetti.  I placed the prongs of the tiny white brad through the confetti, the medium then large poinsettia then through the card front, opening the prongs on the inside of the card.
 

For this second card, I matched the card color - Bashful Blue with the Winter Bright designer paper. Again, the card is cut at 4.25W x 11T inches and scored it at 5.5 inches.  I glued the DSP measuring 4.25W x 3.00T inches along the right hand edge.  I adhered the red ribbon over the left edge of the DSP and taped the ends to the inside of the card.   I used a push pin to make a hole in the ribbon and card front and the red daisy confetti.  I placed the prongs of the tiny white brad through the confetti, the medium then large poinsettia then through the card front, opening the prongs on the inside of the card.

For this third card, I chose the card color - Wild Wasabi and the Bashful Blue side of the Winter Bright designer paper. Again, the card is cut at 5.5W x 8.5T inches and scored it at 4.25 inches.  I glued the DSP measuring 5.25T x 1.75W inches along the right hand edge of the card.  I adhered the red ribbon over the left edge of the DSP and taped the ends to the inside of the card.   I used a push pin to make a hole in the ribbon and card front and the red daisy confetti.  I placed the prongs of the tiny white brad through the confetti, the medium then large poinsettia then through the card front, opening the prongs on the inside of the card.


The cutting pattern I used is the OSW1.  I tipped the orientation of card 3 to tall instead of wide based on the layout template.

Card Club - April - One Sheet Wonder

This card is designed on the One Sheet Wonder concept which allows many cards to be made with a limited amount of designer paper.
This one is Stampin Up  Print Pattern in Sahara Sand with the matching card stock.  The piece of designer paper is adhered to the left hand side of a wide card. The strip of solid card stock is glued over the right hand edge of the designer paper.




The greeting if from the So Happy For You stamp set in the same color as the card was trimmed with scissors to the frame. The greetings were cut to 3 inches. It was then layered onto a square of white card stock.  This layer is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape centered on the card front. The second card is Really Rust. 

All Occasion Cards Boxed

I made a set of All Occasion cards as a donation for an event being held in September.  It will be used for a prize for a golf tournament.  I used One Sheet Wonder 1 and One Sheet Wonder 2 layouts with 2 different colors to create 12 different cards.

I used a black and white double sided card stock by My Mind`s Eye called Lush Black Floral.  This paper as floral on one side and polka dots on the other. I was able to combine it with almost any color.  I cut the neutral strips from a warm white card stock to .5 inch width. They were adhered over the edge of the DSP in the center of the card. Because the white is a white warm I chose jewel toned card stock in cherry and plum. The flower accent is created with the Stampin Up Blossom Party original die.  I cut the center with a warm white circle.  I chose black for the large flower and the same color as the card for the slimmer one.
I packaged them in my standard 6x6 clear box for a nice presentation.

One Sheet Wonder 3 - The Cards

Here's the cards I made with my latest One Sheet Wonder Template - 3.
I chose Bazzill Great Lakes textured card stock for the cards.  Green and turquoise for the accent layers.  I used the Stampin Up Window Frame framelits to cut the greeting layers. The stamps sets are Feeling Sentimental for greeting and Bliss for the images matching the accent layers.


The 4" square is cut corner to corner.  The resulting triangles can be placed on the left or right hand side of the card.

The rectangles - one 4.25" wide and the other 5.5" tall. They are very flexible as they can be placed on the left, right, top or bottom on the card front. I see that I did not mix up the placement of the DSP as much as I could have.  The accent strips are cut at a half inch wide.  The triangle cards need a strip of card stock at least 6" long. The colored squares behind the greeting layer is cut at 2.5" inches.












I used quarter sheet inserts.


Check back soon to find my next Ready 2 Go Stack Card kit made with this One Sheet Wonder.

One Sheet Wonder 3 6x6 Template - 4 cards

I've been wanting to create a One Sheet Wonder Template to make 4 cards from a 6 x 6 inch piece of DSP.  This allows me to make a R2G Card kit with one sheet of 12x12 inches DSP. Well here it is!

Again, it makes the most of the DSP with very little waste.
 
The 4" square is cut corner to corner creating 2 triangles. Note: The 1/2 inch accent strip for the card with a triangle needs to be at least 6" long.  The card layouts allow for wide and/or tall ones.  The DSP can be placed on the left or right hand sides of the card when placing the rectangular pieces.

Check the next posting for the cards I created with this OSW Template.

One Sheet Wonder 2 - Vintage Cards

This is the sample set of cards I made with the One Sheet Wonder 2 template I designed.

The template produces 3 pieces of designer paper. I chose a vintage designer paper and 3 colors of card stock with the accent layer of black. The neutral is ivory. I chose vintage images from Graphics Fairy.

I placed the first piece in the centre of a blue card and added layer accent layers on each side and behind the vintage plate graphic.  The image on the first one needs to be able to be placed on the diagonal.  The accent strips are half an inch wide.

The second card I placed the piece on the left hand side on a red card with dogwood flowers.

On the third card the piece was placed on the bottom of a landscape card with the accent strip placed on it's top edge.   I used a vintage tea pot graphic on this one. 
Great set of cards!

One Sheet Wonder 2 - 3 Cards

I made these cards following the cutting plan from my One Sheet Wonder 2 Template.
Since the plan makes 3 cards I chose 3 different colors of card stock from the DSP.  With the 2 inches strips cut, I chose an accent color, in this case turquoise.  Note: Your accent for card 1 needs to be designed to show well on the diagonal. I printed my accents on the neutral color card stock with the accent color with the Stampin Up Sweet Summer set.  Each card gets a half inch strip of the accent color.  On card one I cut that in half. On card two and three the DSP can be placed on the left or the right, top or bottom.  The accent is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.

The bottom photo is the cards in a clear box for a great look as they are a donation for an auction.

One Sheet Wonder 2 6x6 - 3 cards

I worked up another One Sheet Wonder for 6x6 DSP. This one again has 3 different card layouts. You start with a 6 x 6 inch piece of DSP. You cut into 3 pieces of 2" tall and 5.5" wide. Following the card layouts you can make 3 cards in a jiffy. Of course, making multiples of three in different papers allows you to quickly make cards for any occasions.  Check this posting for the first set of cards I made with the One Sheet Wonder 2.

R2G Christmas Stack Kit - Winter Green

Here's another Ready 2 Go Christmas Stack Kit made with the 6x6 One Sheet Wonder cutting plan and card layouts. 
This time I used a retired Stampin Up DSP called Winter Green.
I chose the stripes as well as this bold floral pattern. I pulled 4 sheets of 12 x 12 which I cut into 6 x 6 pieces.  I decided to not use the set with the Stampin Up credit in the corner and besides I needed a some paper to make my card samples so it was a win win.

I picked Always Artichoke, Soft Sky and Certainly Celery for the card bases.
I chose the Owl Occasions Stamp Set.  The greetings are put on white card stock and cut to 2.75" square.  The greetings are mounted to the card front with 3D foam tape.
I chose Sage Shadow for layers on 2 of the kits and Certainly Celery for the other kit as I did not have enough of the Sage Shadow.  Good to have options.  The layers are 3.00" square.  The card stock strips are .5 inch by 5.5 or 4.25 inches.

The cards can be oriented in either wide or tall orientation.  The inserts provided allow the maker to choose.

This kit puts me in good shape for my June Christmas Stack Class.

R2G Christmas Stack Kit - Winter Frost

Here's the next Ready 2 Go Stack Kit designed with the 6x6 inch One Sheet Wonder cutting plan.
For this kit I used the Winter Frost 6x6 DSP pack. the designs I selected are this small snowflake and the other is bolder chain looking design. I choose Pool Party for the cards for this set.  I chose Basic Gray for the greeting, the square and the strip for the snowflake paper and Island Indigo for the bold chain design.  I ran out of Pool Party so I made 1 card in each design with the colors reversed (Basic Gray card with Pool Party layers) for the ornament.

The DSP and the strip were aligned with the fold and then trimmed on the open side as needed. The greeting layer is mounted over the strip with 3D foam tape.
The stamp sets I selected are: Calm Christmas, Keepsake Ornaments with Owl Occasions greeting and Come to Bethlehem.
