Start simple with a One Sheet Wonder 6 x 6

I don't know about you, but in lockdown I seem to have been busier than ever. I've enjoyed having the children at home and with some very nice weather we've enjoyed the time in the garden and finally bringing the right kind of floral life and fruit and veg back into it.  When I snapped my Achilles tendon two years ago I couldn't do a thing and as the lead on things gardening it all went to pot.  However this year we will be feasting on tomatoes, beans, courgettes, red and black currants, pumpkins, squash to name but a few.  Not forgetting my hanging baskets and pots which if I say so myself are looking rather beautiful.  

This has however distracted me from crafting, but today I'm joining my fellow international Stampin' Up! demonstrators to bring you our versions of the One Sheet Wonder.  I've never actually done one before so started small with a piece of 6" x 6"  designer series patterned paper and started cutting.  My cut plan is below and you could use any papers you have in your stash or indeed you can stamp your own using any stamps and colours. 

 It's easy to do and is a great way to use up those papers that we all have lurking in the craft box and it's a quick way to make cards once you have a layout to follow.  It's even simpler if you stick with just a couple of colours and simple sentiment stamps.

 Here's the plan I made of my cutting.  You can see just two tiny strips weren't used but look at my Bee Happy post you can see that even those bits can be put to good use.  You can then matt your cut pieces like I have with coordinating card stock, add embossed layers and punched shapes or could even do more stamping beyond the simple sentiments I've added, but this gives you a great starting point and you can take it where you want.

Simple stamping for the sentiments and a little embossing on a couple adds some differences.You could step it more with twine, ribbon or embellishments.  

I used sentiments from Stampin' Up! sets Well Said, Lovely You Bundle and Rooted in Nature,  the Tin Tile embossing folders, Stitched Shape dies and my trusty trimmer.   The paper is part of the In Good Taste pack where each design is a photographic image depicting visual textures, great for various types of projects.  

Don't forget there are just a few days left on the current promotion to join us as a discount shopper with Stampin' Up!.
