Check out this fun set of cards I made featuring the retiring (and now unavailable) True Beauty stamp set to create my own "designer paper" that I cut up using a One Sheet Wonder technique to make 7 different cards. I paired this set with retiring colors Evening Evergreen, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent along with the Peaceful Moments and Friends are Like Seashells stamp sets; Label Me Lovely, Lovely Labels pick a punch and Rectangular Postage Stamp punches; Penned Flowers die set; and Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check ribbon. Most of these are discounted heavily so get them while you can!
This month on the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop we are featuring retiring products which will soon be going, going, gone. Be sure to check out availability in my online store here because things are selling out fast (like this True Beauty stamp set)!
This is how I stamped my full sheet of basic white card stock that I cut into 2 pieces (one is 4-1/2" wide and the other is 4" wide). I then cut up the 4-1/2" wide piece into three that are 4-1/2" x 3-1/4". I discarded the little strip left over. For the 4" wide piece, I first cut one piece to 5-1/4" x 4", the next piece is 4" x 4" which I then cut in half diagonally, leaving a strip that is 4" x 2". You'll find photos of the individual cards below...
Here are close-ups of the first set of cards. Which is your favorite?
And here are the others. Do you like one best?
Didn't they turn out great? I wanted to leave you with a quick tip... here is how I made the smaller rectangular mat for one of my cards... I started with the rectangular postage piece that I cut out, then attached it to a post-it note and fed it back in, lining up the notches. I then cut it again to make it smaller. This is a great tip for getting more versatility out of your punches!

Debbie, I tried to decide which of your one-sheet-wonder cards I like the best .... but I couldn't decided. They are gorgeous! I'm having fun on the blog hop, too.

Thanks, Rita! Mango Melody wasn't my favorite color, but now that I have paired it with Evening Evergreen I kind of love it!
