OSW - SCS Inspiration Challenge #176
Today over at Splitcoaststampers the Inspiration Challenge is an on-line store called Skeem where you can find beautiful candles and perfumes. The inspiration for my project came from the candle pictured here on the left. It reminded me of a piece of double sided designer paper that I purchased several months ago. I had not yet done anything with the 12″ X 12″ piece, so I decided to do a One Sheet Wonder (OSW) with the entire sheet. I’m such a paper hoarder which means that doing a project that would use up ALL of the paper was a big deal for me! lol
Here is the finished project. The set consists of 6 cards and my favorite little box (template by Leslie Miller) in which to put them all.
Below each card is pictured individually.
On this first card I did a little stitching in the lower right hand corner.
And the box with an elastic band to hold it all together…
I had so much FUN!! And I don’t seem to be suffering any negative effects from using that entire piece of designer paper! Oh and for anyone interested, here is the template I created for the OSW.

Happy Stamping!

Thud. Sorry, I just fell on the floor. This set is amazing. So, so beautiful. The colours are lovely. I just can’t take my eyes off of this set!!
This is fabulous and I really like how you used the flourish and flowers on the wedding card.
What can I say Susan? You’re a genius to come up with this! What an incredible way to use up one sheet of dsp and create a fabulous gift set at the same time! TFS your OSW template - I am definitely going to give this a try one day! Everything is just beautiful!!!
Wow Susan … what a great set!!! LOVE the matching box and the different designs are fantastic! Definately on my “todo” list!! Thanks for inspiration!!!
What fabulous inspired creations … I love all of the wonderful details on each card … especially the stitching.
Beautiful cards! I love that they’re OSW…thanks for sharing this with us!
Wow -you really nailed the challenge-these cards are just beautiful. I love it when you remember that you have a piece of dsp that will fit perfectly what you want to do. That happened to me recently so today I went out to buy some more dsp at Michael’s-great sale
Wow– what beautiful cards, and a beautiful box to match for their presentation! Susan, you did a wonderful job making your own dp (and I SO know what you mean about agonizing over parting with all your pretty dp!), and I love all the beautiful touches you added to your cards (pearls, stitching, flowers, etc.). Wonderful job on the challenge!
Great set of cards! They are all unique in their own way and very nicely done. Great job!
Wow! I love your inspiration. Thanks for sharing your directions. All your cards are so beautiful. I need to do this since I tend to hoard my paper too.
Susan, I love how you used all of the dp to make your beautiful ensemble. They are all so cool. I need to stamp as I have been in VA for a week! You have inspired me!
Beauitful set, pretty paper and accents!
Holy Smokes!! What a gorgeous set! Talk about nailing an inspiration challenge. Wow!
I’m hoarding that same paper. LOL! Actually, I just took it out this weekend to possibly use on a scrapbook layout. I’m definitely going to make cards with the scraps!
Wow! That is a gorgeous set! The paper you used was waiting for this inspiration challenge!
Thank you for sharing this project, Susan!
