One Sheet Wonder - Share it on a Sunday

 Hi Everyone,





The theme for this week's Share it on a Sunday is 'One Sheet Wonder'. Now, that can be chop up a piece of designer series paper and see how many cards you can make, I've made several of these in the past and I will link them below if you want to have a look. Or, you can stamp your own design and cut that up to make cards and I have done several of these too, links below. But, I made this one ages ago and never got round to doing anything with it (I'll add the link to this too), so I decided that I would use up this one and decorate it to make 4 cards, I hope that you like them.

Instructions

I die cut a pile of flowers from Pierced Blooms, some leaves from Intricate Leaves and some from Flourishing Ferns and started to play about with the design.



Then I stamped 4 different sentiments and punched them out with mats using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.

Then I started putting them together, adhere the stamped image to the card front and then arrange the die cuts and the sentiment and adhere them in place. Add embellishments and/or ribbon too if required.

Add a layer of 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" white card to the inside to write your message, you can also stamp images and sentiments on here too. It's your design, do what feels right for the occasion.

I hope that you liked my ideas and will give it a go yourself, stamp a design and cut it up and see what you get.

Please pop over and see what Donna and Victoria have made too, you are sure to find lots of inspiration.

Bright Sentimental Swirls - One Sheet Wonder - 4 cards

Hi Everyone,


I thought that I would try some simple stamping today and have a play with the lovely new Sentimental Swirls. It's a very useful set for building up confidence with stamping two step stamps and building up pictures and patterns. It's really good for practising your stamping as well as just decorating card fronts and boxes and bags. Let me show you how I made these four cards.

 Materials

4 pieces of gorgeous grape card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"
1 A4 sheet of basic white for stamping
4 pieces of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" (for inside the cards)
Sentimental Swirls stamp set
Poppy Parade ink
Melon Mambo ink
Flirty Flamingo ink
Mango Melody ink
Daffodil Delight ink
Granny Apple Green ink
Coastal Cabana ink
Bermuda Bay ink
Pacific Point ink
Gorgeous Grape ink
Trimmer
Multipurpose adhesive
Simply Scored
Bone Folder

Instructions

Divide the sheet of A4 into 4 with a pencil and ruler.


Stamp the large swirl using gorgeous grape in all 4 sections, I have stamped so that the narrower part of the swirl is towards the centre of the sheet of A4.

Start adding outlines in all of the colours of flowers, butterlies and leaves in and around the swirl. I find it easier to do this and then add the filler stamps all at once afterwards. This takes a little bit of practice and as you can see, I'm no expert and have misaligned a few of the images. But, it doesn't matter, it doesn't have to be perfect and the more you stamp, the better you become. In some cases I have stamped the outline in a darker colour and then used a lighter one for the infill i.e. bermuda bay and coastal cabana and mango melody and daffodil delight.


Then I added the sentiments, one in each quarter of the sheet, using pacific point ink.  I then went back with a few more butterflies adding them so that they sit on the sentiments.


To make the card bases, score the gorgeous grape pieces on the long side at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish.  Then chop the A4 sheet into 4 and trim to 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" to fit the card bases and adhere in place.

Decorate the remaining pieces of basic white with stamping and adhere to the inside of the cards.

I then went back and added Irridescent Rhinestones to the centres of all the flowers, it doesn't really show on the picture but they are very pretty and sparkly.


If you have never tried anything like this, please give it a go. The worse that can happen is you wate a sheet of card and some ink and I know you have lots of that (just like me haha).
