OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge & more of One Sheet Wonder

Midweek Throwdown X 3 Challenge this week is Times Three!

Use something on your card three times, an embellishment, maybe the stamped image? for our heroes to send home to their family and friends!

For my cards, I stamped the sentiment three times, butterflies three times, and I used three pearls.

I made 17 cards out of 2 sheets of single sided 12"x12" patterned paper based on my One Sheet Wonder template at OWH Tuesday Tutorial post. 

I added the matching OWH Sketches, too, next to first three cards for your reference.

 

 

 

 

 

 





 

 

 

Processing photos: 1) layered on black cardstock, 2) adhered on to the card base and 3) completed cards.

OWH Tuesday Tutorial Challenge - One Sheet Wonder

I made 8 cards to show another variations of One Sheet Wonder 12"x12" template.  I am sure that there are many more variations that can be made. 

 

I am going to offer a giveaway during the OWH Memorial Weekend Bloghop May 25-27, 2013 for those who takes the challenge this week's OWH Tuesday Tutorial Challenge - One Sheet Wonder.

 

 

 

These are card front that are already assembled.  I made two sets of the same layout in two different colored cardstock that are matching to the designer series paper. The strips are from the rest of cut.  Nothing to waste!

Tip: 1/4" Thickness Checker

I made a 1/4" Thickness Checker to meet the USPS standard first class mail regulations.  I got this idea from someone who mentioned it on OWH facebook.  I carefully measured and cut 1/4" slot out of a recycling box.

This will be a great tool to check the thickness of card when someone has a lumpy looking card.

OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #173 - God Bless America

This is a great sketch!

 

You can make 14 cards pieces that will make 7 cards out of one 12"x12" dsp by cutting 5"x3-1/2" pieces first and cut it in half.  That will make two of  5"x1-3/4" panels to fit on a 4"x5-1/4" colored cardstock layer.

 

From the rest of cut, two pieces of 5"x 2" and two pieces of 5"x1-1/2 that will make 2 more cards.

Variation cards for 3"x3" cut from one sheet of 12"x12" dsp

We had a great time and fun class today to make 8 cards out of one sheet of 12"x12" double-sided dsp.

As one of variations, I made five cards to show you with 3"x3" cut from one sheet of 12"x12" dsp.  If you plan ahead how many cards you are going to make from each layout, even more variations of course, you will end up making 16 cards without leaving any scraps. Depending on the design of the paper, you can use any sentiment of your choice and by the theme. 

You might embellish it more if you like to.

Tip: How to keep the liquid glue in place

I want to share a tip how to keep the liquid glue in place.

 

This little jar helps me to keep my liquid glue in place when not in use and also when in use.  It keeps the flowing of liquid without drying out until you close the lid.  Hope you will try it.
