More One Sheet Wonders (OSW) for you

OSW are so cool, and if you actually sit down and dedicate just a little time to these marvels, you will be rewarded with oodles of cards from just a few pieces of paper. What I like is to find not just the template, but also examples of how folks have used the template, and there are some really nice cards out there by people using OSWs.

Given that Christmas is also coming up (yes, in my world Christmas is coming up, we are in September ; ), these are good templates to use to get out some holiday cards, or to make a set of cards to give as a gift. People really love getting homemade cards, and I love making them, but do not always have the time to get large numbers of cards done, thus another reason I love OSW.

Tonight I have put together some more examples of OSW cards, and some templates for your library. Hope you enjoy, now cut away : )

* Procrastistamper: What an amazing OSW template and directions, you are going to love this one. Kim takes you through all the steps, the graphics are excellent, make sure to save this pdf for future use.

* Mutch to Stamp: Neat ideas for cards from OSW, she has a template and then pictures of all the cards she created. Oh, and don't forget to go here to get the box template for the cards.

* ScrapLovers: Great OSW cards from "Happy Stamper," I love the pictures of the cards she made, simple but oh so very nice!

* StampINKins: Cool OSW template with a great slide show of her cards. I especially like that she created her own DP, and her cards are so very nice.

Ok, that is it for tonight, no one had to get on the computer so I was able to get my post all finished!

Have a great night, and enjoy your Tuesday : )

It is HOT here and "One Sheet Wonders"

Ok, it is officially "hot" here, was almost 104 today, the blinds have been closed all day, and right now, at 7:30 p.m. it is 86 degrees. Tomorrow is forecast to be as hot or hotter, and I am very grateful that we have air conditioning (set it to 78 and have seven fans running as well). Enough of my whining, onto some stamping and card making : )

I can't believe how many templates there are for various "One Sheet Wonders" (OSW). The templates for OSW show you how to take 8 x 11 1/2 or 12 x 12 card stock and cut into enough pieces to make all sorts of cards.

Tonight I am going to link to a number of templates that will show you various ways to cut your card stock to get a whole bunch of cards, quick, easy, and a great way to get those cards done that you have on your to do list.

• Eight to ten cards from one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock: You are going to love this, cut these piece out, have your base cards ready and away you go! In no time at all you will have a whole group of cards done.

• 12 x 12 OSW: 12 great cards from one sheet of 12 x 12 that you stamp to create your own background and then add a few other pieces of card stock. Great link, make sure to view the slideshow of all the cards she created.

• 10 cards from 8 1/2 x 11 card stock: Page one has a list of mat sizes and additional materials for each card. The second page contains a printable template to use as a reference and the third page is a flipped template, meant for printing on the back of your piece of OSW cardstock. Print the second page on white or creme card stock, flip it over and stamp on the blank side to create your DP, and then flip it over again to use the template as your cutting guide.
  

• 17 cards from a 12 x 12: Wow! No directions, but you can also click here to see the cards, the first link is to the cutting directions.
  

• Cards and a holder OSW: Go to the first post and download the great directions for this amazing OSW set, really, really cute! Directions are very well done.

• Ink It Up! 16 cards from a 12 x 12: GREAT OSW, with a tutorial, and you can also see another set of cards made with different DP by clicking here.

Have a fantastic night, and if you are anywhere in CA make sure to drink lots and lots of water tomorrow!
