This One Sheet Wonder (OSW) I created let’s me cheat a little. heheh It allows me to use an entire sheet of 12X12 (for 6 cards); or if I can’t bear to part with the entire sheet, it allows me to use just half of it (12X6 for 3 cards).
For Father’s Day I needed several cards. I had 2 full 12X12 sheets of designer paper with a masculine theme/feel that I thought looked good together even though they were not by the same manufacturer. So I only had to use half of each sheet to make up a full 12X12 OSW. Plus, since they were doubled sided, I had 4 different patterns to play with! Is this clear as mud? lol!
Maybe some pictures will help! Here is the set I made. There are 3 Father’s Day cards and 3 masculine birthday cards.
Here is the template and a picture of the cut papers. Laying the pieces out like this prior to making the cards helped me make sure that each pattern was used 3 times.
(Click on the images to enlarge.)
This template also allows for a strip of coordinating paper for the inside of each card.
Finally, here are closeups of each card with their recipes below.
