One Sheet Wonder - Hello Lovely-style!

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 :)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape
