6x6 One Sheet Wonder Template featuring Streamside Studios, Mintopia, and Reverse Confetti

Cards from One Sheet Wonder Template #9 by Jess Crafts

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 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.

44 Christmas Cards from P13 Four Seasons Winter 6x6 Paper Pad

 

Cards with P13 Four Seasons Winter 6x6 Paper Pad by Jess Crafts

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 paper pad tutorial this time featuring P13 Four Season Winter. This is a relatively new to me company but I am loving their designs. There are cut aparts in the paper pad as well as designs printed on the back of the covers that can be used as card elements. Their designs are beautiful 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. I LOVE that when I'm done there is nothing left of the patterned paper packs. To see it all in action check out the video.

I made 4 of all designs because this paper pad came with 4 of each sheet. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I added in a sentiment stamp set from LDRS Creative, a cardstock pack from Scrapbook.com and gray cardstock. Using the cardstock allowed me to get much more out of these papers and I think it worked really well because of the subtle delicate designs and color palette. All leftover paper (not much) and extra diecuts cut from the covers was glued inside the cards for added decoration. Everything about the entire pad was used on these cards except the scraps from cutting the elements from the covers.

Coffee Card featuring Reverse Confetti and Hello Bluebird

Christmas Card featuring Reverse Confetti Seasonal Says It All and Hello Bluebird Cocoa Party

Hello crafty friends! I wanted to pop in with a quick card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I recently won a gift certificate from the amazing Super Sponsor Reverse Confetti and so I picked up the Seasonal Says It All stamp set which inspired this card. I did some no line coloring of a fox from Hello Bluebird's Cocoa Party set and the words from the Reverse Confetti set. A few sequins from Super Sponsor Kat Scrappiness with help from my Super Sponsor Twiddler's Nook sequin tray completed the card. For more details feel free to check out the video. Be sure to join in the hop for your chance to win a prize from one of 72 Super Sponsors!
