All for an A4....

This one sheet wonder is another hand stamped pattern piece of A4 paper. I thought I'd go for a soft slightly more masculine look to this set of card. I used a 2 step stamping set called Feather Together from Stampin ' Up!  And soft neutral shades of ink with a pop of blue.
I hope you are enjoying this week's inspiration.

Small but perfectly formed. ...

Today the one sheet wonder is a 6"×6" piece of double sided designer series paper stack.  The sheet makes 5 cards using this cutting guide.  That makes for a possible 240 cards from one pack of paper!  Now that's good value me thinks! 😉

Soooo quick and easy.....

Today's samples are using an A4 one sheet wonder. Not only can you use your preprinted papers for this technique you can also step it up and create the pattern paper yourself! Gill created today's pattern paper by stamping using one stamp set and several colours of ink. She had great fun !
I then created the cutting guide and made some of the quickest card I've ever made!
Hope you like them 🙂

Ohhhhh so much from so little....

Hi Hope you all had a great weekend  ☺ we had lovely weather and spend a fab day at Denbies wine estate at the Shopfest craft and gift event.
This weeks inspiration is all about one sheet wonder's.  A one sheet wonder is when you cut a single sheet of pattern paper into different sized pieces and created a coordinating set of cards. It is a very economic way to get lots out of your paper.
Today's project shows how you  can  cut a 12"×12" piece of paper into 11 pieces to create 11 card!

Big and bold...

This weeks projects have all been on the smaller end of the scale so today,  the last day of the bag and box inspiration I thought I'd go big and bold!
The tall box is almost 6" tall and 5" in diameter!  The octagonal box was created using the score board and I very easy to create ☺
I hope you've enjoyed this week's inspiration and will join us next week for a week of one sheet wonders.
Have fun

One style...3 sizes....

Sometimes all you need is a simple gift bag that can accommodate all sorts of sizes. So today I've used the Stampin ' Up!  Gift bag punch board to create  3 different sized bags. The smallest is just 5.5" tall whilst the tallest is a wopping 11""!!!
All the bags have been made from double sided pattern paper.

Twisted gate fold card tutorial. ..

Hi as requested here's a short photo tutorial on how to make the twisted gate fold card that I showcased on Friday the 5th of August. I hope it makes sense!
So here goes...
Start with apiece of card stock measuring 14.85 cm x 2 1cm,  in the uk this is a standard A5 piece of card. Then score along the long side at 7cm and 14cm.  Then score diagonally from the top left hand corner to the 7cm score line. Then score from the top the 14cm score line to the bottom right hand side of the card.
This is the basic card blank!
To decorate cut panels as below

Adhere your panels as per these pictures



This is the twisted card you can now embellish and decorate as desired.

I hope this is ok and makes sense any questions please comment below or send us a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Have fun
Cary ☺ x
