One Sheet Wonder - 6 x 6 inch DSP - 3 Cards

I did research a while ago for One Sheet Wonder plans.  For me I had hoped to find the cutting plan and the card layouts to go with it.  There were a few who included both pieces.  I was working on Christmas cards so repetition was okay with me.  My kits are 12 cards so I wanted a cutting plan that produced 3 cards per 6 x 6 sheet. Here's my inspiration posted by Sharon.

I believe the card layouts are very versatile because the cards can be assembled wide or tall.  The designer paper is double sided so you may be able to turn the paper around and get another look.  With the layers all being the same color, it cuts down on the complexity when cutting and stamping.  I suppose if one color would do across DSP designs that would be better.  Maybe black, grey, and some of the neutrals may work for several DSP designs.  I will put that in my thinking cap. 

I'm really happy with how my kits turned out.  I am posting another in the next post.

The greetings are cut to 2.75" with an accent layer of 3 inches.

How To: Folded Christmas Tree

This is how I created my foil Folded Christmas Tree.  I have included the graphics template here as well.  These are the cards.

Christmas Card Stack - JOY Label

I selected really great foil paper for each of these cards.  Some great paper is available over the Christmas season so keep an eye for good quality paper on a roll.
I cut my foil paper to 4x5.5" and glued it to the card front.  I cut the large label with the SU Apothecary Framelit in pearl white paper.  The smaller label I found on a Sizzix Bigz XL Scoreboards Die called Treat Bag Toppers.  This was a great find! I cut the smaller one from card stock that coordinates with the foil paper.  The JOY greeting is cut with the Sizzix "Join the Cheer" sizzlet strip and adhered with liquid quick dry adhesive from a bottle with a fine tip nozzle.  The sentiment is adhered to the smaller label and mounted to the larger label with 3D foam tape. You will not that the top one has pierced border which was added with the SU paper piercing template for the Apothecary Framelit set.  I was a good day in class.
