Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using Stampin' Up! links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support my blogs. Thank you in advance for that support!

As of January 21, 2026, most of my Stampin' Up! makes are moving to
https://cheringloveofpaper.blogspot.com/.
Most of my makes will be using Stampin' Up! products and be on that blog,
but any makes from other materials will still be posted here.
Enjoy browsing my blogs, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into these blogs feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Second OSW - Card #6


This is the 6th card in my 2nd One Sheet Wonder set - using pieces corresponding to #6 on my template (see it here).  Here's what I did to make this one:

CARD FRONT:
  • Background - I just used the red card base as my background, constructing the rest as a one piece topper.
  • Focal - Using the lace border stamp from Lacy Things stamp set (HOTP) and a sentiment from Enjoy the Day Vintage Labels 4 (JustRite) I created the heat-embossed image you see as the focal.  I glued the left edge to my patterned paper as shown in the picture.
  • Finishing - I added a strip of braided gold cord, wrapping it to the back before gluing the whole thing to the card.  Then I added a fussy-cut butterfly (Lacy Things stamp set from HOTP) gluing only the body & antennae to the card (wings folded up)


INSIDE:
  • Background - I glued a piece of pink marbled paper to the inside of the card
  • Focal - Taking a small rectangular piece of black paper, I matted it on my slightly larger piece of patterned paper.  To the black paper I glued another of the fussy-cut butterflies (Lacy Things stamp set - HOTP)

Second OSW - Card #5


This is the 5th card in my 2nd One Sheet Wonder set - using pieces corresponding to #5 on my template (see it here).  Here's what I did to make this one:

CARD FRONT:
  • Background - The blue card base mostly serves as my background.  I simply glued my piece of patterned paper to the left side as you can see.
  • Focal - My heat embossed image was created with a stamp from Artful Affirmations stamp set (HOTP).  To this I simply added a bit of gold braided cord across the top before attaching the whole thing to the front of the card.

INSIDE:

  • The inside was done similarly - the embossed message also from Artful Affirmaitons.

Second OSW - Card #4


This is the 4th card in my 2nd One Sheet Wonder set - using pieces corresponding to #4 on my template (see it here).  Here's what I did to make this one:

CARD FRONT:
  • Background: I simply glued my larger patterned paper piece to the card front.
  • Focal: This heat-embossed image was stamped using a stamp from "Lacy Things" stamp set (HOTP).  I matted it on a piece of red glittered fun foam from the dollar store.
  • Sentiment:  Again heat embossed using a stamp from Lacy Things.  Also matted on the glittered fun foam.

INSIDE:
 
 
  • Background: I attached a piece of pink marbled paper cut slightly smaller than the black card base.
  • Border: As you can probably see, I took a piece of the glittered fun foam, attached a black 1/8" ribbon before matting it on my patterned paper and attaching to the inside of the card.

Second OSW - Card #3


This is the 3rd card in my 2nd One Sheet Wonder set - using pieces corresponding to #3 on my template (see it here).  Here's what I did to make this one:

CARD FRONT:
  • Background: I added a strip of 1/8" black satin ribbon along the one edge of my patterned paper before adding it to the front of my orange card base.
  • Focal: On a black piece of card stock, I heat embossed my greeting (stamp from HOTP set called Birthday Greetings).  On another sheet of black paper I heat embossed a couple of butterflies from the HOTP Lacy Things stamp set & fussy cut around them.  I attached one by the body & antennae only (wings bent up) to the upper right corner of the focal.  Then I tapped the edge of the focal piece on my Versamark stamp pad, going all around the edges so I could add gold embossing powder & heat emboss the edges.  The whole piece was then attached using foam tape.

INSIDE:
  • Background: I cut a piece of orange paper slightly smaller than the card base & glued it down.  
  • Border: I attached a 1/8" ribbon to my rectangular patterned paper piece, and glued it to a black paper mat before attaching it near the bottom for a border.
  • Focal: I added my second butterfly (mentioned above) in the upper right-hand corner.
