One Sheet Wonder Inspiration

I saw a Pin a friend had saved about One Sheet Wonder cards. You know, where you take one sheet of Designer Series Paper and cut it up into all sorts of shapes and make cards from that. I liked the layouts on this Pin. But when I investigated further it was from a country that has A4 sized paper. So, using the photos I came up with my own set of cards. I had enough DSP that I was able to make a two or more of some of the layouts.
This was the easiest card. I used the Welcome Words stamp set. My husband sends Welcome cards to all visitors at our churches. So, I try to keep him stocked.

Another Welcome Card

Big expression stamps make for easy, quick cards. This stamp comes from the new Welcome Words stamp set. It has lots smaller word stamps that can be added for new home, baby, etc. It's not easy to see in the photo but I paper pierced the white card stock top and bottom to give a little more interest to the card.

New Tools

I just got the Elegant Dots Textured Embossing Folder and the coordinating Happy Patterns Decorative Masks. I made the top card first for a color challenge (So Saffron, Plum Perfect, Blackberry Bliss and Pear Pizzazz). I thought the card was a bit busy so then I made the botgtom card using the same colors. The butterfly comes from Watercolor Wings and involves triple stamping. I started with So Saffron for the solid stamp. Then added Plum Perfect for the center stamp and Blackberry Bliss for the Outline. The fern comes from Butterfly Basics stamp set and the Welcome comes from the new Welcome Words stamp set in the Occasions Catalog.
For the background I used a sponge dauber and So Saffron ink with the Decorative Mask and then used the Elegant Dots embossing folder.  Another great coordination of tools from Stampin' Up!
