I've been working on OSW (One Sheet Wonder) Template for 12"x12" Double-sided DSP and made sample cards for my OWH cardmaking group. I have a class tomorrow for them to create OWH card kits. I came up with this basic template to make eight cards along with several variations that you can make more out of it. You will need to first cut in 5"x12", the second cut in 5"x12" and the rest will be 2"x12". Then go by the cutting diagram. This is a draft that you will see my handwriting after many whiteouts. I will work on my computer to get nicer drawing. Tip: Punch out the focal image mat from the base layer that will be covered by dsp anyway. Hope this will give some inspiration whoever wants to try. UPDATE: Please click the template to open a new window with bigger clear picture. Thanks for stopping by!
Introducing my July 2024 12″ x 12″ One Sheet Wonder Tutorial! This month’s One Sheet Wonder features the beautiful Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper and Simply Said Stamp Set.
If you're visiting from the Operation Write Home Tuesday Tutorial, welcome! Thanks to Kristie, Seongsook, and Sandy for inspiring this tutorial. Kristie is the mistress of all things 6x6, Seongsook's been offering up great One Sheet Wonder templates recently, and Sandy did an episode of OWHtv on her method of using a 6x6 pad. Here's my take on the topic of 6x6 paper pads: This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and marks an annual tradition for Operation Write Home: the biggest bloghop of the year. I signed up weeks ago to participate and then ended up too busy to make a card until the last minute. I pulled out a 6x6 pad because they are my crutch when I need an awesome card in a short amount of time. I'm guaranteed that the papers go together, so I can layer them up and not have to worry about clashing! You can check out my card here if you missed the hop! 6x6 pads have been the talk of lots of OWHers and were even the subject of a tutorial. Lots of comments on my blog hop post indicated OWHers are interested in the idea but haven't gotten a chance to dive in yet. I'm with them; I still haven't tried to make all of the pages in one 6x6 into cards all at once. Why? I think it's because I tend to cut into several sheets to make one card and then I'm faced with a pile of scraps that seem too small for much of anything except a scrappy background. I'm also more than a little overwhelmed with the idea of tackling all that paper at once. When I start something, I like to finish, so I'd be sitting for a long time to get through 24 sheets! Today, I set out to change my concern into a method that works for me. I made myself a little 6x6 template and put 6 of them on a sheet of computer paper. I knew that most pads come in multiples of 6, so I figured that to be a good starting point. I wanted to make a cutting formula that would use 6 sheets of 6x6 paper at a time with minimal waste. I made two templates. Template 1 makes 9 cards and template 2 makes 8 cards. Here are the cutting templates and the cards I made from them. On each square, note the order to make the cuts. Same sized pieces can be swapped based on whether you want to repeat or vary the patterns. Template 1 says it makes eight cards, but it's really nine. If your papers are single sided, you'll need to cut each page twice (in two different patterns) to provide enough variation in the papers. In Template 1, cards 1A-1D are based on OWH Sketch 1, card 2 is based on OWH Sketch 7, card 3A-3B are based on OWH Sketch 8, and cards 4A-4B are based on OWH Sketch 135. Sample cards are made with papers from My Mind's Eye All Spice. Template 1, Cards 1A and 1B Template 1, Cards 1C and 1D Template 1, Card 2. Also great horizontal Template 1, Cards 3A and 3B Template 1, Cards 4A and 4B In Template 2, cards 1A-1C are based on OWH Sketch 154. The others have some similarities to previous OWH sketches but aren't true copies of any of them, sorry! Sample cards from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy Boy. Template 2, Cards 1A and 1B Template 2, Cards 1C and 2A Template 2, Card 2B Template 2, Card 3 Template 2, Cards 4A and 4B (My favorite!) If you try these cutting templates, plan on three 12x12 or four 8.5 x 11 sheets of cardstock for layers and matting in a color that will go with all of your patterns. You might squeeze out the 8 or 9 cards with one less sheet of cardstock, but I prefer to have plenty of material for layering. As far as color goes, I like to choose something with good contrast in case the patterns are busy. I hope this helps you get started with your stash of 6x6 paper pads! Please leave me a link below if you try it out. I'd love to see your creations! P.S.

I worked out another One Sheet Wonder template that allows you to create three cards from one sheet of 6"x 6" decorative paper and three sheets of cardstock - one neutral and two coordinating colours which in this case was green and maroon. I was in need of another sympathy card when I designed this template to create three cards. At the same time I created a Christmas and birthday card because that worked pretty well with my decorative paper. I used digital images from Beccy's Place and added greetings in Corel Draw before I laser printed them on the sheet of neutral cardstock. I cut all three sheets of cardstock in half and folded one of each colour in half to create my three card fronts. I trimmed the decorative paper according to the cutting template. cut my greeting/images apart being careful to ensure that I could fit all the pieces I needed in before cutting anything. I cut three cut maroon layers (1 7/8" x 3") for my images and then cut the other pieces I would need from my scraps. I used four of the 1" x 3" decorative paper pieces on this card gluing them equidistant from each other and the edges on the ivory/neutral card front. I sponged the ivory strip with maroon ink after I punched it with the scallop border punch so it would better show up on my card. I added the green strip and then glued this element over the bottom edge of my decorative paper strips. I watercoloured my image and adhered it to a maroon layer then glued it to my card front. I added clear dots of Dimensional Magic to the scallops and let it dry over night. It adds some subtle dimension to my sympathy card. Next, I worked on my Christmas one. I glued the 3" x 3" and one of the 1" x 3" strips to a 3.25" x 4.5" layer of ivory/neutral cardstock leaving a gap in between. I cut a piece of green cardstock 3/4" x 3.25", embossed it with a wordy Christmas embossing folder and glued it in place over the gap. I glued this whole element to the maroon card front. I watercoloured my image, glued it to a maroon layer and mounted it on my card front overlapping the green strip using 3D foam tape. For the birthday card, I glued the last four strips of decorative paper to my card front (see the sketch) leaving very small margins between the edges and the pieces. I watercoloured my image, layered it onto a maroon rectangle and mounted it to the center of my green card front. I added some small rectangles into the remaining spaces, added faux stitching with a marker and used watercolour and my stipple stamp to add a bit of texture to them. Really happy with how these cards worked out. There are other variations that can be created using these elements. If you decide to play with this template I would love to see how you created your cards!! Leave me a link to your creations in the comments below. Enjoy!!!!!!!!! Therese

I had a few friends over last night to make cards. It has been more than two years since I taught my last cardmaking class and it was great to be at it again. I decided to use a One Sheet Wonder template for the card kits I made up and it worked out very well. I modified the dimensions and one layout from OSW#4 so I have created another file to cover the options in this class. For my first card I positioned my rectangle (5.5" x 2") of decorative paper on the bottom edge of my card after I adhered my punched border (SU) to the back of it. I watercoloured my image (2" x 3") and added it to a layer before gluing it to the front of my card using 3D foam tape. I layered my greeting onto its layer and glued it to the front of my card. These cards kits are versatile as you can play with the layout of the elements on the card as well as change the orientation from landscape to portrait. As you can see I prepared several options including Christmas cards. I am a bit behind in my goal of making Christmas cards monthly so the few extras I have leftover will help me with that goal. These three images are digital and available at CLKER. For my second card of the night I chose to put a clean border on each side of my decorative paper before adhering it to my card front. I water coloured the images (cake and carriage - Black Berry Jelly images, bird - CLKER), glued them to their layers and glued them to my card front. I glued my greeting to its layer and added it next. You can see that the orientation can easily be changed. I also discovered that I could punch my printed greeting with the window punch (SU) and that the layer could be punched (modern label SU) from the middle of the image layer which gives the greeting a completely different look. So many options!!! I made the last card an easy one. For this layout the decorative paper (6" x 2") is cut in half to give you two pieces (2" x 3") which are glued to the card front in opposite corners in the landscape orientation. The center cardstock strip was trimmed with decorative scissors before we glued it into place. The images are all colour printed greetings (SU digitals), glued to a coordinating layer and adhered to the card front using 3D foam tape. This card could have easily been created in a portrait orientation. Here is the cutting template and card sketches I used in this class. Again, you can easily and quickly create three cards using one piece of decorative paper that is 6" x 6" and three sheets of cardstock. A real time saver when you are busy or need cards on a short notice. It also creates a coordinating set of cards if you are in need of a small gift. So I am very pleased to have a few people to make cards with and with any luck at all we will be a few more next time. Therese

Hello, I've been wanting to take a challenge the 6x6 template. It took me a while to figure out the template. Once I made a mistake, I came up with my color-coded template for myself. Finally, I made it. I had to do this before I do other things. Thanks to Kathryn for taking time to provide the template. Here is the link to OWH Tutorial: 6×6 Template Kathryn’s original post can be seen here: Kathryn’s Cards And this is my color-coded template for myself but I wanted to share. Processing photos: (I am a visual learner while I need a written instructions.) For Template #1 Cut by the measurements Find the matching pieces Layer the pieces on a cardstock. I used a black cardstock as a layer and then adhered it on to a white cardbase by using dimensionals. So I had a gap in between to wrap a ribbon around. For Template #2 Cut by the measurements Find the matching pieces Layer the pieces on a cardstock. I used a black cardstock as a layer and then adhered it on to a white cardbase by using dimensionals. So I had a gap in between to wrap a ribbon around. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing how to use up 6x6 patterned papers without creating any patterned paper scraps. A friend shared that this style of cardmaking can be referred to as a one sheet wonder. I'm not sure who originated the style, as I have seen many crafters refer to it, but please let me know if I should be crediting a specific crafter. Today I am sharing how to cut up a 6x6 piece of paper that will result in 2 of the exact same card. However in order to mix up the patterns because this is single sided paper I am cutting 2 sheets for a total of 4 cards. I am using cardstock to mat the patterned paper pieces which will create some cardstock scraps. In the video I share some ideas of what to do with those scraps. In this blog post you can find a template for how to cut your paper as well as a sketch to show what should be done with those cuts. Of course feel free to mix it up to your own liking. This post and video is not sponsored but affiliate links are used to support my blog and channel. Thank you! Please let me know if you find this helpful and would like to see more. It's a fun challenge and I love working with patterned paper!

This week Operation Write Home offered a One Sheet Wonder tutorial on their blog from Seongsook Duncan's blog. The tutorial suggested using a 12"x12" piece of double sided designer paper. I didn't have this so I used two 12"x12" sheets of paper. I cut both sheets of paper according to Seongsook"s template. Next I followed the assembly instructions. Because I used two sheets of paper there will be a total of 16 cards made. I used a white card base with a maroon layer and two sheets of coordinating Christmas paper from the DCWV "Christmas Combo Stack". These are my finished cards. This was a fun way to make many cards. I'll be looking for more One Sheet Wonder templates.

Make the most out of your paper scraps with this easy card layout. Here are a dozen versions of the same template.
Good Day Crafty Friends, It's One Sheet Wonder time! Time to take a piece of 12"x 12" DSP and cut it up. Don't be afraid to cut that beautiful paper. Guarantee if you love the Paper you are about to use, then so will the recipient. This OSW set of cards is a very simple set and can be achieved by all level of crafters. The template I have chosen to use makes 14 cards. There is a popular saying in the crafting world 'why reinvent wheel?". I am applying this saying to the template that I have used for my set of cards today. Instead of doing all the hard work, I have used this template by Michele Boyer. To download the template by Michelle click here Here are my pieces all cut up ready to go Now for those really really observant, you will notice the three rectangular pieces that make up card 12, well in my set I have only used two (not because I didn't want to but because I dropped one piece on the floor and one of the dogs snavelled it up - gone! Down the hatch!) So, in order 1-14 as per template here are my cards I wanted to keep them fairly simple so to limit the time spent making the batch. Took me 3 hours from start to finish. I used only Black and White Card Stock so that anyone can replicate these samples. I die cut and punched everything from black card stock, all card fronts are white card, all images and sentiments were stamped in Black Archival Ink, then just added some Black & White Bakers Twine and a bit of bling. A separate post of all the cards with close ups and items used on each one can be viewed here. Hope I have inspired you to get into your crafty space, cut up some 12x12 and create a batch of cards. I like to package mine in a wide Stampin'Up! stamp case as you can slip inserts inside the front and back plastics, and gift it as a set. Or a clear acetate box with simple ribbon trimming so you can see the cards inside. Keep an eye for for my next One Sheet Wonder post, I will show you how to make a set of cards using a stamped A4 piece of card stock along with Stampin' Up! Framelits and Stamps. Until next time, stay crafty
