This One Sheet Wonder idea all started with the card that I made for my Simple Joys of Christmas post which you can see here.
I had several sheets of this striped patterned paper from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper pack which I was having trouble using. So I set my self a challenge to make a One Sheet Wonder using this paper.
To challenge myself even further (Can you tell that I like a challenge?) I decided to only use the Christmas Pines Stamp Set and the Pretty Pines Thinlits. I had a bit of think about what other supplies I would need and I included the Detailed Trio Punch, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch, Subtle and the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folders along with Stitched Shaped Framelits, Layering Squares Framletis, Layering Circle Framelits and Layering Oval Framelits as I use these framelits a lot for sentiments and creating designs. I found that I did not use the Layering Oval Framelits.
I did not limit myself to what cardstock, Glimmer Paper, Foil Sheet, ribbons, trims and embellishments I would use. I just went to my stash when I was designing and gathered what I needed.
I made 7 cards, 2 gift card holders, 2 gift boxes and 3 tags using the one piece of Designer Series Paper.
I have included the cutting layout for the Designer Series Paper. I did it in inches as this was easier.
Over the next 10 days I will post each project with the cutting measurements and how I made each project.
Cards 1 & 2
The layout for these two cards is the same. The designer series paper is cut in a 2" by 6" inch piece. You will need to trim the excess paper off the end as it is slightly longer than needed. I find that if I try and measure it to size I always cut it slightly smaller than I want, so I now just trim it off after I have adhered it to my card front.
For Card 1 you will need a Cherry Cobbler cardbase, adhere the piece of striped Designer Series Paper to the card front about 3/4' from the top and trim off the excess. Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 2" x 4 3/4", round the corners using the Detailed Trio Punch and emboss this using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Adhere this to the card front using dimensionals.
Die cut the Fern using Mossy Meadow cardstock, the Leaves using Old Olive cardstock and the small foliage using Gold Glimmer Paper.
Stamp the "May the Simple Joys of the Season Be Yours" on a piece of Basic Black cardstock using Versamark ink, add White Embossing Powder and heat set. Cut out using the 2nd smallest Oval in the Stitched Shaped Framelits.
Layer the leaves and foliage on the piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and add a piece of Gold 1/8" Cord (do not tie this in a bow, just layer it on using double sided tape before placing the sentiment oval on top. Add a few Gold Metallic Pearls to finish the panel.
For the inside of the card stamp the word "Christmas Blessing" on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Momento Black ink.
For Card 2 you will need a Cherry Cobbler cardbase, adhere the piece of striped Designer Series Paper to the card front about 3/4' from the top and trim off the excess. Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 2" x 4 3/4", round the corners using the Detailed Trio Punch. Stamp the "Season of Joy" sentiment on the bottom of this piece using Momento Black ink, making sure that it is slightly to the left side to allow room for the Pine Cone display. Adhere this to the card front using dimensionals.
Cut the Fern using Mossy Meadow cardstock, the Leaves using Old Olive cardstock and the Foliage using Gold Glimmer Paper, The Pine Cones were made using Crumb Cake and Early Espresso cardstock with the 2 bows cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and layered together.
Arrange the Pine Cone display how you like and add Gold Metallic Pearls around the Fern and Leaves and a Gold Faceted Gem to the bow centre.
For the inside of the card stamp the "Tidings of Comfort and Joy" image using Momento Black ink in the centre of a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
