There are some Designer Series Paper (DSP) stacks that I just fall in love with, and the Frosted Floral DSP from the soon-to-be-discontinued Holiday Catalogue is one of them. If you haven't gotten a personal look at this paper it's a shame, because each sheet has 2 sides of gorgeous shimmery colour that pictures just can't show.
This paper is available through January 2...you can order it through my online store!
I decided to use one sheet of this paper to make a set of 8 cards using a One Sheet Wonder template. What is a One Sheet Wonder? It's a set of instructions for cutting a sheet of patterned paper into various sized pieces and card layouts utilising those pieces.
I used a template made by Claudia Ausborn specifically for metric card measurements. If one Googles "One Sheet Wonder" one will find a gazillion templates for measurements in inches, but almost none in centimetres. Claudia posted this in Kylie Bertucci's Love It Chop It Workshop Facebook page, which I highly recommend if you're looking for great ideas to use your stash of DSP!
One of the things I like about this method of card making is that I still get to use my creative side...choosing what colours to mat/stamp in, which side of the DSP to use, what sentiment would be best, which ribbon or embellishments, etc. I got 8 cards from this cutting template...I could have gotten a 9th but I chose to use 2 pieces on one card.
Just taking a quick look at the papers in the swatch photo at the top, one might think that there would be an overwhelming purple and aqua theme...but with this sheet I used Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow and Merry Merlot for the card bases/ink/mats. The cards have a breezy but very rich feel.
I'm thinking that this would make a nice set of cards to give as a gift...what do you think? Local stampers...I'm thinking of offering a One Sheet Wonder workshop...let me know if you'd be interested!
Here are the products I used to make this card. Click on any image below to go to my Online Store and order.

In terms of design, it is very obvious that you have mastered it already. Your collection of Designer Series Paper (DSP) stacks is simply lovable, and I will place an order after putting this comment up! By the way, can you make a video demonstration featuring the ways on how to do this. It's quite a challenging thing, for sure. But 2019 is a year of taking risk for me so I am pretty sure that I will have the eagerness to do it as long as I have the free time to do it! Leave a Reply. |
