6x6 One Sheet Wonder Template #14 featuring Lawn Fawn

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing how to use up 6x6 patterned papers without creating any scraps. This method is similar to the idea of a One Sheet Wonder and I will refer to them in that way since it makes sense to many crafters. To the best of my knowledge, the One Sheet Wonder is a concept Stampin' Up demonstrators have been using for years and so credit to them for the name and inspiration of the idea. Today I am sharing how to cut up a 6x6 piece of paper that will result in 2 of the exact same card. I am using cardstock to mat the patterned paper pieces which will create some cardstock 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.

6x6 One Sheet Wonder Templates featuring Lawn Fawn and Heffy Doodle

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.

Gilding Flakes and Lawn Fawn Ahoy Matey

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card featuring Lawn Fawn and gilding flakes. I made this card for a YouTube collaboration and to fulfill several challenges. I decided to start by creating my own gilding flakes background to meet the challenge requirements. Then I picked the Lawn Fawn Ahoy Matey set because I thought it paired well with the gold background. To see a full tutorial check out the video below:

Tag Card with Scrapbook.com's Exclusive Dies

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a tag card featuring Scrapbook.com's exclusive dies. Scrapbook.com reached out to me asking if I would like to review the dies and so I received the dies in exchange for my honest opinion about them. I am working with the nested tags and nested stars dies. I decided to create a tag card by cutting two tags and then scoring the top of one and adhering them together. For more information on how I created the project check out the video below.

I really liked that the tag dies came with two options for adding the holes to the top of the tags. I felt like it gave more bang for the buck and adding the holes was super simple because of the design. The size range in the die sets makes them great for a variety of projects including cards, scrapbook pages or home decor. I found the dies cut easily through the thick cardstock that I used. 

Disclosure: As always affiliate links are used when possible and these dies were sent to me for review.

Ink Smooshing for Bright Bold Pops of Color

Hello crafty friends! Today I whipped up a quick card for a two challenges. Over in the Stamp Junkies Facebook group there was a challenge to make a card with pink, orange, turquoise and white. I decided to use an old favorite technique to add some quick bold color. I did some ink smooshing with acrylic blocks. If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'm sharing an older video with the technique. I love my flower shaped blocks because they are comfortable to grip and make a great shape for this technique. Once I had some great bold color I decided to tie in the Lawnscaping challenge to use watercolor. I used my Distress Inks to watercolor the little cup and then fussy cut it out for a quick and simple card.

Christmas with Winter Alpaca for Lawnscaping Challenges

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card for the latest Lawnscaping challenge. Today's challenge is Christmas! We want to see your last minute Christmas projects or get a head start on next year and be sure to include some Lawn Fawn goodies. So for today's card I created a custom background with a stencil and then layered some embossed panels. I used the adorable alpaca from Winter Alpaca since I had an extra already cut from another project. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Toboggan Together.

The sponsor for this challenge is Lawn Fawn. They are offering a free stamp set of choice for the winner. Thank you Lawn Fawn for your support!
