One Sheet Wonder Cards

This past weekend was the Memorial Day blog hop for OWH, and what fabulous inspiration was to be found!!  As I hopped along to all of the beautiful cards, I stopped at Seongsook's blog where she had made templates for One Sheet Wonder (OSW) cards.  If you are like me, and hadn't heard of that before, it is a way to utilize every tiny inch of your patterned paper to make several cards out of it!  I knew I had to give it a try!  There is a link to her wonderful tutorial here if you are interested in trying it out too!

I made nine A2 cards out of one sheet of double sided patterned paper.  I used a sheet that came from DCWV's Summer Dream Stack.  The colors on this paper are very patriotic and I know that even though there are not flags or stars on them, any of the military families who will receive these will appreciate the patriotic color scheme. Since these are going to OWH, I did not use paper with glitter on it.  Here is the group shot of the 9 cards:

Here are pictures of the individual cards in case you want a closer look.  I added white satin ribbon, flowers that I cut from an SVG file I created, and a stamped sentiment that is covered with a 1" epoxy circle.

 This is the one that I made with the left over 2" square of DP.  I almost think I like this one the best with the embossing LOL!  This one does not have the epoxy circle since I kept the sentiment square, but I used foam dimensionals under it to add more visual interest.

I hope this inspires you to try out the OSW technique and maybe even send some cards in to OWH!

Have a wonderfully crafty day!
