JustRite, a One Sheet Wonder and a Sketch

Probably my biggest addiction, even more than collecting actual stamps, is designer paper. PAPER!!! I love it!! But I find that I don’t use it because then it would be gone. D’oh. So I have begun to quarter my 12″X12″ sheets. This way I have FOUR… YES FOUR pieces of paper. I can let my little hoarding self use one or two of these pieces and still have some left!! Woohoo!! Well it works for me. LOL!!

So that is where I started today, with a quartered piece of 12″X12″ designer paper.  To make sure that there was absolutely no waste of my precious paper, I created another 6″X6″ One Sheet Wonder (OSW) template.  I just love making these.  They also work, of course, for all of the 6″X6″ pads of designer paper available now.  And I created a sketch (which I almost followed!  lol) that can be used with the pieces from the OSW that will make into four cards.  Here’s the template for the OSW.

I needed a couple of masculine birthday cards and a couple of wedding cards.  Since this was a double sided patterned paper, it worked out perfectly with the stripes on one side and the blue toile like floral on the other!  Plus my 10 Designer Centers & Borders from JustRite had everything I needed for sentiments all in one set!

Here is the sketch.

If you decide to give this OSW/Sketch design a try, please let me know.  It would be so much fun to see what you have created!

    What a great idea to quarter the sheets. And a space saver too. These cards are neat and I’m going to play when I get home from work tonight.

    Thank you for all the inspiration and information, it takes time to put together such a post, I know. I love these colours together and the texture combinations too.

    You crack me up, Susan - quartering your papers so you can actually use them!! lol Good for you, though, figuring a way to part with some of it. ;P

    Love your sketch, and your cards are very pretty!

    Great idea! And I thought I was the only paper collector — glad to hear I’m not the only one.

  11. Tanyaon 25 Mar 2009 at 7:57 pm

    Yes actually, I will use this! LOL!
    I was going to ask if you mind if I use (in a class) your template you posted previously with the 6×6 sheet of DP. I like this too! :)

    Plus these are great cards!!!

  29. Dawn B.on 30 Mar 2009 at 6:18 pm

    I have the same problem. I hoard that dp. I am starting to use it everyday now. I love the fact that you are quartering your sheets. It would make it easier to store too. Great project. TFS

  32. Stacy SCS Twinshappyon 02 Apr 2009 at 8:14 am

    Oh great set of cards and I like the sketch. See I don’t have tons of paper on purpose, I buy it and usually don’t know what to do with it so it sits here. LOL I am so used to solid papers and I try to use it a lot more, and I am getting better. :0) not that you wanted to know all that either. I always give you way too much info. lol Hugs…

  33. Sharon Harniston 03 Apr 2009 at 6:19 pm

    I so love how you designed the cards with the one sheet wonder. I am also hooked on the Justrite stampers, but have an awful time getting a clean, solid image. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

  38. Zoe Farmeron 30 Apr 2009 at 5:55 am

    Wonderful!! Just love your cards. Now I can use some of that 6X6 paper I have been hoarding!!

  39. Tamion 30 Apr 2009 at 10:15 am

    Love this template and am so thankful you are sharing. Your cards are all stunning and I know they will be gratefully received!

  40. Elizabethon 10 May 2009 at 9:07 pm

    These are great!! Thank you so much for the template. Is there another template for the matting solid colors for use behind the design paper?
