Greetings my stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well and that you are taking time out of your day or week to do a little bit of stamping. For me, getting my fingers on stamps, inks and paper is the best therapy.
With today’s project share, I am starting a three-part series on how you can create a “Double Wonder” from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ piece of designer series paper. This can also be called a “One Sheet Wonder” but instead of starting with cutting on the piece of 12″ x 12″ paper, we are going to cut it to 6″ x 12″ and then cut both pieces the same dimensions. When all is said and done, we will have created 11 cards with the one piece of 12″ x 12″ DSP!
For today’s cuts, we are going to take the 6″ x 12″ pieces and cut off 4.50″ so that you end up with a 4.50″ x 6″ piece (x 2 since we are going to cut both pieces the same). Then cut the 4.50″ x 6″ pieces to 1.50″ x 6″ and you should now have six pieces. Next, cut the 1.50″ x 6″ to 1.50″ x 3″. You should now have 12 pieces that measure 1.50″ x 3″. You will use three pieces for each card and will make four cards. (Set aside the remaining two 7.50″ x 6″ pieces for later.) You will want to cut a standard A2 card base (8.50″ x 5.50″, scored at 4.25″) (x4). Cut a mat that measures 3.25″ x 5″ (x4) in a coordinating color of cardstock.
This is what you will end up with once you have assembled all of the parts:

By changing the punch and which side of the pieces of DSP I used, I created four different, but similar cards. (NOTE: We will use the same sentiments and punches for each group of cards we make, so if you want to get a head start, stamp three of each and punch.)
Here are the Stampin’ Up! supplies that I used in the design of these cards with hyperlinks for you to easily add them to your shopping cart:

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.
