Wow- has it really been over a week since I posted? Yikes…sorry about that! Sometimes life just gets busy and you need to take a break. The good news is….my taxes are done! I also have some news to share…but maybe I’ll save that for another day. (No, today’s cards have nothing to do with it. LOL!)

Here are 2 more cards with Anna Wight’s Bundle of Joy set. I used my One Sheet Wonder template to make these. I didn’t want a whole sheet of one design though, so I cut my sheet in half and made some for a boy and some for a girl. And I still have leftover pieces!
The images in the scallop circles have some glitter added. And I used the Priceless brass template to pierce some holes. The flourish was used to make some “wind” for the sailboat and the scallop edge was used to make some waves for the duckie.

Last night I finished up the rest of my OSW cards. I also used the One Of A Kind set along with Priceless. Here’s a pic of the finished cards. I may go back and add some more details later. I have to say that this is by far my favorite template that I made! I created it in 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch interchangeable “blocks” so that it can be easily adapted to suit your needs. You can cut it up as is, cut all 4 sections the same, or cut a mixture of the designs. And the pattern pieces were kept simple so they can be embellished as little or as much as you want. I made 7 cards with this (the last 2 with the wavy cut are the same). But you can easily get eight cards by switching one of the blocks for the first one which only makes 1 card.

Below the pic are pdf documents of the template and directions. The template can be printed directly onto the back of the cardstock as a cutting guideline but please use your trimmer to measure the cuts accurately! My program was a bit wacky when I made the template and it is not exact. Have fun with this & post a link back here if you try it!

The One Sheet Wonders are such a fun technique. You are able to quickly & easily create a coordinating set of cards that you can give for a gift or use yourself! I also enjoy creating my own templates and I was a bit surprised when I looked back in my files….it has been 4 years since I made some! Wow- time flies! I had a few ladies who are still new to stamping ask me to do a class and I thought they might enjoy this technique. So I have been sketching a new template and cards, and I started making my samples. I decided to use the Priceless set and Vanilla cardstock. Sometimes I just forget to grab a color other than white and I want them to see how pretty the Vanilla is! Here is one of the cards that I’m preparing and a pic of the whole sheet that I stamped before cutting it up. I want to try to keep the pieces simple in design so they can be used with as little or as much embellishing as you want. I will work on designing the rest of the cards and post a pic along with the template I created….hopefully soon!
