10+ Cards One Mini Kit featuring a New One Sheet Wonder and Scrapping for Less

 

One Sheet Wonder Cards by Jess Crafts featuring Scrapping for Less and Avery Elle

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing how I made 12 cards with a Scrapping for Less mini kit using my 6x6 One Sheet Wonder templates and sharing a new One Sheet Wonder template. In this blog post you can find one new 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. You will also find links to past templates that I will be using to complete my 12 cards for the kit.  For more check out the video below:


I am sharing this Scrapping for Less mini kit because Teresa, the owner of Scrapping for Less, has decided to retire and is in the process of selling the inventory of her shop. Please head to this video to find out about this huge sale (30% off almost everything in the shop!). I have guest designed for Scrapping for Less in the past and Teresa asked past guest designers to share the sale, but did not ask for this video. I just wanted to share how you could apply my One Sheet Wonders to a kit and I really liked this mini kit from her shop.

This post and video is not sponsored but some affiliate links are used to support my blog and channel. Just to be clear I was not given this kit and I do not earn affiliate commission with Scrapping for Less, I just wanted to give you a heads up to a significant sale. (30% off almost everything)

Please let me know if you find this helpful and would like to see more. It's a fun challenge and I love working with patterned paper!

33 Cards with Carta Bella Dinosaurs 6x6 Paper Pad

Cards made with Carta Bella Dinosaur 6x6 Paper Pad by Jess Crafts

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 paper pad tutorial this time featuring Carta Bella. I am obsessed with 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I wanted a paper pad that would appeal to kids since I donate many of my cards to organizations like Cardz for Kidz.  If you want more info on donating cards or get jokes for your cards please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using the Carta Bella Dinosaurs 6x6 paper pad to make 33 cards! To see it all in action check out the video.

Video is not sponsored but affiliate links are used to support my channel at no cost to you.

I made 2 of almost every design but will note the specifics under each picture. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I used some sentiments and banner dies from my stash. If you do not have similar dies or punny stamp sets you can use more generic sentiments and cut your own banners with scissors. I also added some twine to use up from my stash. I will be sharing some sketches I created based on these card designs. If you would just like to see some cards sketches or download PDF sketches click here.

More 6x6 One Sheet Wonder Templates featuring Sunny Studio and Lawn Fawn

Cards from One Sheet Wonder Template #3 and #4 by Jess Crafts

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing how to use 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 two different ways 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 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 and if you share on Instagram please tag @jess.crafts and use the hashtag #jcosw so I can see your creations!

30 Cards with Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice 6x6 Paper Pad

 

Fall Cards with Doodlebug Designs Pumpkin Spice Paper Pad by Jess Crafts

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug. I am obsessed with Doodlebug 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating cards or get jokes for your cards please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using the Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice 6x6 paper pad and the coordinating stickers to make 30 cards! To see it all in action check out the video.

I made 2 of each design but I used different stickers on many of them. If you see two cards in the photos, it is to show the two different stickers chosen. If you see just one of a card then both cards I made are exactly the same. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I also used an amazing Taylored Expressions stamp and die combo to stamp and diecut many sentiments at once as shown in the video.  I also added some twine to use up from my stash.
