I was looking for something to do today since my other half is working and I have to the house to myself (except for the dog, who is very needy and loves his cuddles), so I decided to do my first One Sheet Wonder cards.
I did not realize how many templates for One Sheet Wonders there are - wow! So, if you are interested in OSW, but not the template I used, never fear! Because there are about a million and a half more out there. Google is your friend.
OSW does not mean you don't use other products (at least in my eyes it doesn't) - it just means you use one sheet of patterned paper to make all of your cards. So that being said, I will be using the CTMH Workshop Your Way Hello Lovely kit - so I may use some ribbon and embellishments from that kit. But, I will only be using one piece of the patterned paper. I will also be using CTMH White Daisy cardstock for my card bases, and probably some CTMH Sea Glass cardstock and glitter paper (as you might have guessed, I haven't yet made my cards. Typing this blog entry as I go along). I'm sure I will be using an assortment of Thin Cuts, embossing folders and stamps, just to make the cards extra pretty! But I will list all of the products I used on each card for easy reference.
I chose to do a template by Stamp with Shallon, who I believe is local to me. She provides the cutting template as well as a short video on her OSW, so I encourage you to go to her blog and check it out! I will probably not follow all of Shallon's card designs exactly - but this is a bonus, because you will have lots of card templates to choose from if you do this yourself.
So, let's get started! Here are all the pieces, and I did follow her cutting guide exactly:
Disclaimer: I like to add layers to my cards. Cardstock layers, embossed layers - I just like the look of layers. So, I added layers to my OSW. I didn't use a full sheet of any colour cardstock. I don't know exactly how much of each colour I used, as I was using up bits of my scraps. I did try to make the patterned paper the centrepiece of each card.
I ended up making 12 cards, but I did have pieces leftover (I was just so exhausted at the end of the day and didn't have it in me to go on haha). But, I do have some pretty kraft cardstock tags, which would look great with these little leftovers!
So, enjoy the cards! I started this blog entry at 9 am Saturday and am just posting this at 1:30 pm on Sunday. It was a process to make the cards, then take all the pictures and add the descriptions...and then clean up my mess, because I do make quite a mess through my creative process :)
