Basic Black, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White – what I thought of was using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and doing a One Sheet Wonder. The idea has been around for years and about once a year or so I remember the concept and use it for something. Well that time has arrived. If you have never heard of the One Sheet Wonder concept it is basically where you take one piece of paper – in this case it will be one piece of stamped card stock – cut it into multiple pieces to make multiple cards or projects. I used one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ Whisper White card stock and stamped the three flower images from Fifth Avenue Floral – one in Night of Navy, one in Bashful Blue and one in Daffodil Delight. These were stamped randomly all over my one piece of card stock.
I do have to tell you that I spent a long time looking for this stamp set in my craft room once I decided that I wanted to use it for this project. I searched through all my stamp sets three times and was just about to send out an email to my downline thinking perhaps I had let someone borrow it and it never made it back to me. Well I found it – guess where it was – on my craft table – why because I had just used it on another project the day before – I think I’m losing my mind…..
So back to the project. I took this one piece of card stock and to make it easy – cut it in half, then in half, then in half, then in half – ending up with 16 pieces that were 2-3/4″ x 2-1/8″ big. And do you wonder what I did with all those little pieces? Well here you go…..
They became Thank You tags for my club orders that I am packing up this week. I took each piece cut from the one sheet wonder and matted it with a piece of Night of Navy card stock. Then I made some with Daffodil Delight and others with Bashful Blue backgrounds, borders and butterflies. I added the black on the “thank you” that is stamped on the wing, on the black crochet thread wrapped around the butterflies and for my hangers. I hope you like them!
Take a minute to visit the UDI site and play along with us this week.
