More One-Sheet-Wonders for Mom's Stationery Box!

Good Morning!
Yes, it's really crazy-early, but I just couldn't sleep, and was here on the computer, so I thought I'd post some of the pictures I've been too busy lately to get on the blog.


This is the last set of the OSW cards I made with my Mom while she was here.


This set comes from the few days they were here on their way back from their month-long Arizona trip.




Please enjoy! There are LOTS of pictures!!

Valentine's Day 2010 - OSW!!

I'm still stuck on these One Sheet Wonder cards!!!

I used lots of different inks and stamp sets, all from Stampin' Up:

Inks:

Yo Yo Yellow

Pink Pirouette

Riding Hood Red

Purely Pomegranate and

Rich Razzleberry

The stamp sets I used:

Love You Much

Priceless

I {Heart} Hearts

Well Scripted and

Framed with Love

I didn't make all 10 cards out of the stamped sheet, so that allowed me to use some pieces I cut freely for the card insides and the punched and over-stamped pieces. Please enjoy!!

Your kind comments are always appreciated!

Cards for Soldiers "Spring" Jan. 25 - Feb 19, 2010

I've been spending some time on Ebay looking for Stampin' Up stamp sets, and found this sentiment set that had lots of good sayings in many different fonts.... lots of them are shown here.

I've also recently discovered the (not new) technique of One Sheet Wonder cards! Basically, you use similar family ink colors and a stamp set to completely cover one 8.5 x 11 sheet. With specific instructions, cut apart this sheet... and make at least 10 cards from it! What an amazing idea!! Below you'll see the result of my very first solo experiment with the OSW cards.

Here is a link to the cutting template.

Here is a link to the card template to make 10 cards with the cut pieces.

I followed some of the samples for the cards, and then used some of my own ideas to come up with some new designs. I really love the Martha Stewart punches!!! I like to see how I can incorporate all those great punches with the stamped images and color schemes.

Here are most of the samples from my set of 20 CFS this time around!!

I just had to play around with the heart loops PATP punches I'd gotten. The Love comes from the Limited Edition Cricut Cartridge; Love Struck.

50 States Swap - Oklahoma

This is an 8x8 Oklahoma page I created for a 50 States Swap on the Cricut Messageboard. Under the flag and horse tag are facts about the state. To the left of the flag, I will attach a piece to adhere the state quarters to.

I found the horse stamp at Michael's on Sunday, and used the Versamark ink with the clear embossing powder to heat-set that horse onto the tag. The background is stamped with SU's Close to Cocoa ink, and the large swirl from the Priceless set.

It turned out even better than I planned!!
