One Sheet Wonder (OSW) Christmas

If you read my September blog postings (HERE), I created a One Sheet Wonder using the Stampin' Up! fall colors:  Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango.  I decided to follow the same format and create a Christmas OSW. 

One Sheet Wonder is a stamping technique where you use stamps to create a background.  I choose to use an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of Whisper White as my background.  I knew I wanted to use my new favorite color - Cherry Cobbler, along with Garden Green.  I wasn't sure what my third color would be.  I took a 4" square piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the flowers in Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.  The colors that would coordinate with those two would be Elegant Eggplant, Night of Navy and So Saffron.  I tried each color and decided to go with So Saffron; the other two colors were just too strong.

I started with Garden Green using the medium sized stamp from the Love & Care stamp set by Stampin' Up! (Level 2 Hostess, 2011 Summer Mini Catalog, no longer available).

My second color was Cherry Cobbler

I finished off with So Saffron

Following the same cutting layout from my class planner, I cut my 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of stamped paper into ten pieces.  I did end up stamping in some of the blank spots once I cut the cardstock.

I will be posting additional pictures and information, so please check back.  Click on "SUBSCRIBE TO MY BLOG POSTS - CLICK HERE" on the top of my blog so you don't miss out on my postings.  Your email address is kept private and never sold.

ONE SHEET WONDER CLASS PLANNER TUTORIAL

I just finished the final layouts for my eight cards and one card enclosure care OSW (One Sheet Wonder).  Each card was made with a section of the OSW background created using various colors of ink and different stamp shapes. I randomly stamped the flowers on cardstock.

The OSW background sheet below was created using the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Whisper White cardstock 8 1/2" x 11"
• Love & Care stamp set
• Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango ink

To create the cards I used the following

• Chocolate Chip cardstock - 1 and one half sheets
• Crushed Curry cardstock - 3 sheets
• Dusty Durango - 3 sheets
• Whisper White - 1 sheet

I have created a 14-page class planner which includes

• Picture of each card
• Card details - include measurements of OSW and other cardstock
• OSW layout - layout and measurements for creating the cards
• Cardstock layout - layout and measurements to get the best number of cuts from the least amount of paper
• Supply list

You can have this class planner/tutorial for only $4.99.   Once you make your purchase, I will email you the Adobe PDF.  I have the complete planner in one file; however, if your email provider does not accept large files, I will email individual pages of the tutorial in seperate emails.

If you have any questions, please EMAIL before you make your purchase.

I will be posting pictures of eight cards I created using the One Sheet Wonder (OSW) method.  Each card will have a section of the OSW background created using various colors of ink and different stamp shapes.  I randomly stamped the flowers on the cardstock pictured below.

The OSW background sheet below was created using the following Stampin' Up! products:

I will have a planner available with the cutting instructions for the OSW, card layer measurements and pictures of each card. 

Watch for my posting over the next few days.
