Free Quick & Easy One Sheet Wonder template for 12″ designer paper


When I saw the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper I thought it would work wonderfully with a one sheet wonder.  It's amazing and gorgeous paper that you can get FREE during Stampin' Up!'s 2021 Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It starts on Tuesday, January 5th so I cannot give you a link to the products quite yet.  But I can show you my cards!

Aren't they sweet?  All are made with just one sheet of 12 X 12" Berry Delightful paper.  I needed just a few additional strips and layers along with greetings. The colors are Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, White & Flirty Flamingo.

Here's the template I created.  You can watch the video below to get some tips on making these cards.


I used the Berry Blessings stamp set which is included in the free bundle along with the Sweet Strawberry set & punch bundle from the new Spring catalog. 

This stamp set & Designer Paper are free with a $100 purchase during SAB. 

Here's the Sweet Strawberry bundle I used.  I love that the punch has 4 parts that match the stamps!  (You can tell which images coordinate with the punch; they're highlighted.) And notice how the fonts in both of these sets match?!!

After I made the strawberry cards I wanted to try the blueberries sheet so I made these cards with that one. 

I'm offering the 10 strawberry cards as a free pre-cut kit to go to anyone who chooses the Berry Delightful bundle from me during Sale-a-Bration; which runs from January 5th – February 28th. However, the supply may be limited in February.

Or if you already own the bundle and want the pre-cut kit you can order it here in my Shop. 

**Kits ordered in January will ship out at the end of January and can be combined with my other monthly kits to save on shipping.

Below is the video where I share some tips on using my OSW Template: 

Remember; Sale-a-Bration starts tomorrow; Tuesday, January 5th!  It's the best time to purchase Stampin' Up! products!

  • Still more incredible Fun Fold Team swap cards!


    We had sooo many fabulous fancy fold cards at our February Team swap!  I've been sharing a few each day this past week. Please look back to see them all; I'm sharing measurements for each one!

    Jacki made this stunning Pinwheel Tower card featuring the Nature's Sweetness Suite: 

    Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.  The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.

    See the Nature's Sweetness suite here; it's huge & filled with beautiful stamps, textures & die-cuts. 

    The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this video I shared a while back. 

    Measurements:

    • Center box is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"; scored at 1/4", 1", 1 3/4", 2 1/2" 
    • 4 pieces at 2" tall X 4 1/4" 
    • Designer paper layers are 1 1/8" & 1 7/8" – 2 each of 2 patterns

    Next is another incredible card made by Jonna who chose the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.  

    She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here. 

    When you open up her card it's a gift card.  What a great men's card idea!  

    Measurements:

    • Navy card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", folded layer is 4 1/2" X 9 3/4" scored at 3 1/4" & 6 1/2"
    • Designer paper – striped on front is cut with the Deckled Rectangles – finished size is 5 1/8" X 3 3/4", inside gift card is 4 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • White front – Deckled Rectangle die-cut is 3 7/8" X 2 5/8" finished, center white is 4 1/4" X 3"

    Oh; this one is so beautiful!  Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper. 

    This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers!  the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene! 

    I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect!  The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here. 

    Measurements: 

    • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
    • Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"

    This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now.  *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

    I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here. 

    *Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!

  • Fancy fold swap cards by my Flowerbug’s Team – with measurements!


    We swapped Fun Fold cards with my team in February and they knocked it out of the park! I've already shared quite a few of their cards with you and today I have more yet! 

    First up today is a pretty card made by Karen.  She found a new fun fold that's a take on a 'book-binding' fold but now completely new with just one additional piece. 

    She used the Softly Stippled designer paper – a free choice during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase. Her colors include Calypso Coral, Black, Petal Pink and Vanilla.

    • Petal Pink is 3 1/8" X 4 1/8"
    • Calypso Coral die-cut (Everyday Detail dies) is 1 3/4" X 3 1/4"

    This next card was made by Deloris who chose the Flight & Airy designer paper, also in our Sale-a-Bration offering in February. It's also free with any $50 purchase from Stampin' Up!. 

    She used the Perennial Postage dies on the front along with the Distressed Tile embossing folder.  Look at the inside fold!

    The inside greetings are from the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle.

    I shared how to make this neat accordion card on a recent video – see it here. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2", White layer for Perennial Postage die is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4" finished size, inside white is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"

    Lastly today is a beautiful card made by Rita who chose the Softly Stippled designer paper like Karen above. 

    Her colors include Pebbled Path, Calypso Coral and Vanilla.  The inside greeting is from Charming Sentiments; the front is from Wild Ferns.

    Measurements:

  • Simple Direct to Paper Technique for quick gorgeous cards! Plus 6 ways to add ribbon! Video & free project sheet too!


    On last week's Live video I focused on the Most Adored specialty designer paper and shared the Direct to Paper technique and these gorgeous cards: 

    Anytime we have designer papers with foil designs I think of this fun technique! It's basically rubbing or tapping your water based ink pad onto the designer paper. The ink soaks into the background but resists the foil designs. Simply wipe the excess ink off the foil with a tissue – done!

    The colors above are Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock. Notice the different ribbon techniques and layouts. The left card has loops of ribbon added to the greeting label; the right has a simple fold of ribbon. 

    Each card has two main pieces – the designer paper is 3" X 4" and the layered, coordinating card stock is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4". Check out the different layouts with these basic pieces.  

    The left card above is Highland Heather and the right is Sweet Sorbet.  A few more examples of ways to add ribbon and change up this simple layout.  I added two thin strips of ribbon across the left card and tied a bow around the window frame on the right. 

    Remember this pretty specialty paper is available through February during Sale-a-Bration. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it here. 

    Keeping to a basic layout like this is a wonderful way to get a bunch of cards done quickly and use up your designer paper at the same time! I chose the Charming Sentiments stamp set for all of my greetings.  

    The colors above are Copper Clay and Pebbled Path – 2 of our newest in colors.  Ribbon uses include a flag and a double bow.

    The free project sheet can be downloaded here: It's also a great reference for ways to add ribbon! Download Direct to Paper technique with 6 ways to add ribbon

    I hope you're inspired by the simply card idea, the technique and the 6 ways to add ribbon!  Watch the video below to see this technique in action!
