Revisiting the One Sheet Wonder

Do you remember the One Sheet Wonder concept?  You select a full sheet of patterned paper and by carefully designed trimming and the addition of some coordinating cardstock, it goes from this

   to this  

This week I came across a One Sheet Wonder design posted by Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Kristina Rees on her blog in May of 2017. (Don't ask me how I stumbled upon it - that's why I wrote down the details and I'm putting them here for future reference.)

Kristina said the design was not original with her, but she could not locate who first came up with it, so I'm not able to give that person credit either.

I was intrigued by the pattern, so I sifted through my Designer Series Papers and chose the sheet you see in the photo above, from the retired Waves of the Ocean set.

In under 2 hours, I had all 11 cards assembled, just waiting for the stamped images and words. Yesterday I finished each of the cards inside and out and they are now ready to use.

Here are a few of the cards up close. Watch my blog over the next few days - I will post the rest in 2 more installments.

Birthday Wishes card - word stamp from Sweetest Cherries stamp set, present and bow dies from Wanted to Say dies, border die and tag for words from Gone Fishing dies.

Our Friendship... card - words, wave and pelican stamps from Waves of Inspiration stamp set, various dies from Waves and Sending dies.

With Deepest Sympathy card - word stamp from Peaceful Moments stamp set (retired).

Watch for my next post with more One Sheet Wonder cards.

Happy Stampin!
