One Sheet Wonder

This is my first attemp at the technique known as One Sheet Wonder. It doesn't really take only one sheet of cardstock to make these 8 cards however, all the atmping (except for the sentiments) is done on one sheet of Whisper White which is then cut up and used as the main image or background on the 8 different cards. The colours I used were Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery. The stamp sets were Basics wheel, Bud Basics and Cheery Chat (love this sentiment set!).

If you would like to make 8 cards in one afternoon using this same technique then come along to my One Sheet Wonder workshop - details are as follows:

Date: 28th September 2008

Time: 1.30pm

Place: my house

Bring: own SNAIL or similar adhesive, a trimmer if you have one

Cost: $20 if you bring your own adhesive or $25 is you use mine

How's that? Only $20 to make 8 eights with envelopes. That's only $2.50 per card. And you have an afternoon filled with fun (and chocolate) as well. Cheap at twice the price!

Seriously, places are limited so if you want to come please contact me ASAP to book your place.

Workshop Cards

Finally! I have been trying since Sunday last week to upload these photos to blogger.

These are 2 cards I made with a group of ladies at a workshop last Saturday. I knew they would all be mothers of young children and would always need children's birthday cards.

The Princess card is Perfect Plum, Mellow Moss and Pretty in Pink. We stamped the crown from the Perfect Princess set in Versamark on Whisper White cardstock and heat embossed it in silver. We added Dazzling Diamonds to the jewels for some more bling. The backgound uses the Perfectly Pretty wheel. The ribbon is Mellow Moss taffeta. A card perfect for a little princess.

The card on the right is for the boys. We used the By Land set and inked the car with SU Markers - Brilliant Blue and Basic Black - and stamped it on Whisper White. We then used the Crop-a-dile to add Jumbo eyelets to the wheels for hubcaps. The Beep Beep was stamped on Whisper White and cut into a tag shape. Both images were mounted on More Mustard cardstock. A small eyelet was set in the top of the tag and it was tied through one of the "hubcaps" using Linen Thread. The card background is Garden Green with Brilliant Blue DSP and another small piece of Garden Green. Sure to delight any small boy.

If blogger continues to behave, I'll be back with some Father's Day cards I have been making.
