6x6 One Sheet Wonder Template featuring MFT and Sunny Studio

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 paper pad only has one color on both sides 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.

My Favorite Things Sketch 518

Today I have a card for the latest My Favorite Things sketch challenge. I definitely went a little abstract with the sketch, but the way the blanket in the Picnic Pals stamp set is angled reminded me of the sketch and I thought it would be a fun chance to do a clean and simple interpretation.

MFT Sketch Challenge 515

Today I have a quick card for the MFT Sketch Challenge 515. I have long adored the MFT Birthday Buds stamp set and finally picked it up during a sale so I wanted to color up this elephant right away since he was my favorite. MFT has amazing sketches and you can download the PDF of them here. 

MFT Sketch and SSS Wednesday Make It Sparkle Challenges

 

Hello crafty friends! I was having a bit of a creative block the other day and so I decided to do what I often do when that hits and make some cards for a challenge. I started with the My Favorite Things Sketch challenge and combined it with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge to Make it Sparkle. 

I decided to make two cards because I had two strips of the orange paper and I thought it would be fun to color two critters from the set. The sparkle comes from the black glitter cardstock banners and mat behind the orange. I LOVE MFT sketches and recommend downloading and printing the PDF so you have plenty of ideas when you lose your crafty mojo.
