Originally this card started out with a fall leaf paper (black, blue, crimson red and green).  The black cardstock under the paper layers was a nice "wow."   I stamped a cross from the Refuge and Strength stamp set in Cherry Cobbler layered on black cardstock.  The once "wow" card turned "dismal" and I scraped all but the stamped Certainly Celery card base.

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 15-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.
