While this wasn't really a One Sheet Wonder set of cards, it was inspired by that technique. I like buying the Hunkydory "Luxury Card" kits. They have lots of wonderful die cuts and patterned card stock to play with and make it easy to get quite a few cards created in a small amount of time. Each Luxury card kit appears to actually be made up of 10 smaller 3-page sets: a die cut sheet, and two coordinating patterned card stock sheets (one with foiling).
I took one of those 3-sheet sets (called Toyshop Window) from the Christmas Classics Luxury Card Collection and tried to see how many cards I could make from that one set (adding stuff from my stash), and how much of the set I could use up - using the techniques I had started using when doing the one sheet wonder cards. I've always felt it was a waste to toss out the leftover sheet when the die cuts were removed from it - so I DIDN'T! :)
The 8 cards you see in the picture above are the result - and the picture below shows how much of those 3 original pages (including the die cut sheet) was left.
I don't know if I'll get around to using the rest of this later - but I sure feel a sense of satisfaction that I found a way to make use of so much of it!
