Hello Friends,
Today I am sharing the most simple One Sheet Wonder and how to make an Emergency Card Kit. I love what I came up with for an emergency greeting on hand. I use the Peaceful Poppies designer paper for this kit but this would be easy to use other designer paper. In the video, I also explain what kind of designer paper work best for this one sheet wonder.
The video can be view below in this post or on my YouTube Channel.
Measurement
For the cards, all measurements are the same. The designer paper I have the template and measurement below.
- Whisper White thick 8½ x 5½ score at 4¼ OR 11 x 4¼ score at 5½ card base
- Layer cardstock 5¼ x 4. Choice of Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive or Poppy Parade.
- Little strip if needed ½ x 4 or ½ x 5¼ (these little strips are from the leftover of the first layer)
- Blackberry Bliss 1¾ circle
Emergency Greeting
I am so excited about the way I store the greeting. So simple and friendly to use. All greeting is stamped on a 1½ whisper white circle with blackberry bliss ink.
I place each circle on a strip of glue dots. Each circle covers 2 glue dots. I folded the strip with the circle by 2 and place them in an envelope. Keep the greeting envelope in the purse. When am in need of a card for such and such occasion I just need to pull the greeting that I need and adhere to the Blackberry circle on the front of the card. Simple and perfect in case of emergency need of a card and no time to stamp. I did more greeting than I did cards so I have a few extra in case I need more of this or that for the greeting.
Card Holder Purse
I share this lovely card holder purse a few weeks back. If you miss this post CLICK HERE. I have all the details for this easy purse and also you will have access to the video.
From all the comments that I received from this post, I will say its a winner for the cardholder.
The collage above is all cards using the Peaceful Poppies designer paper. All simple cards that I designed for the team Retreat last month. This paper is so beautiful no need to add much to the card to get the wow effect.
Template
This is the template that I did for the simple One Sheet Wonder. I would say this is one of the most simple One Sheet Wonder for 8 cards.
Here how I cut my 12 x 12 sheet
- Cut a 2″ strip. From this strip cut in an increment of 5″. The little piece leftover of 2 x 2 cut this one diagonally.
- 12 x 10 piece cut on the long way in an increment of 3¾. You will get 3 strips of 3¾ x 10 and one strip of ¾ x 10.
- All 10″ strip cut at 5″
- ONLY one of the 3¾ x 5 cut at 2¾. These 2 pieces are used on one card. Use both sides of the prints.
Designer paper for each card
- 5 cards: 5 x 3¾
- 3¾ x 2¾, 3¾ x 2¼
- 5 x 2, 2 of 5x ¾ (one of these strip reverse side)
- 5 x 2 and both triangle piece from the 2 x 2
This is your total of 8 cards all apply on color cardstock of 5¼ x 4. Colors of cardstock are Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, and Poppy Parade.
