Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog, I asked my fellow designers to create a 6" x 6" DSP One Sheet Wonder set of cards. If you aren't familiar with this concept, a One Sheet Wonder is where you stamp a sheet of card stock and then cut it up into multiple pieces to make several cards. It is even easier when you start with a piece of DSP! For this challenge I wanted to showcase the great 6" x 6" DSP stacks that Stampin' Up! is now selling. If you don't have any, simply cut a sheet of 12" x 12" DSP into (4) pieces of 6" x 6" sheets and follow the cutting instructions below. These four cards came together with just a few pieces of card stock, the Tidings of Christmas DSP, the coordinating Tidings & Trimmings stamp set, a few punches and two colors of ink - Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen.
With Christmas just 6 months away (can you believe it?!?!?), I wanted to showcase more ideas using the Tidings of Christmas DSP and coordinating Tidings & Trimmings stamp set from the annual catalog. I think the colors are fabulous, love the patterns in the DSP and think the images and sentiments are great! In case you missed it, I also used this Product Suite with my All about the Bling project a few weeks ago. Two of the new 2021-2023 In Colors are represented in the color palette - Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulents - along with Basic Black, Basic White, Cherry Cobbler and Misty Moonlight. They're gorgeous together!
The cutting template above is how I cut my DSP. I was searching on Pinterest (see my One Sheet Wonder board here) for inspiration and saw this cutting pattern shared on the CardsTV blog. She made 5 cards with her pieces, I decided to make 4.
Here is what the cut pieces look like when done. You could easily cut several pieces of the DSP at one time and crank out a lot of Christmas cards in one sitting!!
For this card I used the two A (3" x 2") pieces of DSP along with the Everyday Label and Rectangular Postage Stamp punches. The sentiment perfectly fit inside the punch!!
For this card I used the two B strips of DSP (the longer piece is flipped over to showcase the other pattern). Each piece was notched using the Banners Pick a Punch and the Noel sentiment was cut out using the scalloped oval from the Double Oval punch.
This third card features the C (3" x 2") piece of DSP along with the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch. I used the matching die to cut out the stocking, but you could always fussy cut it with Paper Snips.
For my last card I used the four D (1-1/2" square) pieces of DSP along with the Tailored Tag punch and smaller oval from the Double Oval punch. I find that punches make these cards come together so quickly!!
Here is a larger photo of the finished card set. I hope I have inspired you to cut up your 6" x 6" DSP and create some great Christmas cards. This cutting template works for any DSP and you can even take any stamp set and stamp all over a piece of 6" x 6" card stock to create your own patterned paper. Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more One Sheet Wonder ideas and inspiration.
Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
