These are 7 of the 14 cards created by the one sheet wonder challenge on the Paper Wishers Message Board. The rest of them are here:
The challenge was that we were to use any paper we chose, but we had to use the following cutting guide:
We were given sample layouts:
And sample cards:
Though we didn't have to use the layouts & samples unless we chose to do so, it certainly made it easier. The cutting guide, layouts, & samples were first posted on the PaperCrafts Magazine blog way back in 2015 by Michele Boyer.
I found this far more challenging than expected. I think it works better if you use a paper that has a lot of colors & a clear "use this color for matting" color - and I think black works especially well for mats if it's in the pattern.
The other thing is that for this to go quickly, you need to have some idea of the tools/supplies you will be using to create the focals.
My materials/supply list:
- Peppermint Twist Foil card stock from K & Co. (this was the one sheet for my "wonders")
- A2 card bases (white glitter, light pink, medium pink)
- Card stock - medium pink & white
- Red pigment ink
- Kalaidascope embossing powder
- red glitter foam
- red paper foil
- double-sided adhesive
- Embossing folders: "Peppermint Twists" and "Scallops & Lines" by Sizzix
- Cutting dies: "Happy Holidays: Script" dies by Tim Holtz (Sizzix), "Joyous Celebration Collection" & "Happy Holidays" from Spellbinders, "Merry Christmas" & "10 Tags & Trims" by Paper Artist (HOTP)
- Stamps: "Christmas Card Scriptures" by Divinity Designs, "Christmas Cheer", "Christmas Labels & Trims", "Christmas Tags & Trims" by HOTP,
- Small Heart Punch
- Bit of red ribbon from stash
