One Spring Wonder

Welcome to the first day of spring!

I am still in complete awe with how much free stuff you can earn during Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration! The workshop was a great success and I'm booked for one more before this joyous occasion ends on March 31st. I am having a total blast sharing all of these great products and ideas! I'm sure you can tell that by all of my exclamation marks. It's pretty hard to control myself!

I've been getting goodies every few days but haven't had a chance to really sit down and play with them yet. However, I do have something to share with you! This was an example of the One Sheet Wonder card  decorating technique and I found pretty decent instructions on Splitcoast Stampers (which also has it's own Stampin' Up! section). This is quite the doozy image wise, so hang on!

 Stamp one sheet of 8.5x11 inch paper!

 

How is that? Take one sheet of cardstock, create my own patterned paper out of it, creatively cut it up, and use it design ten cards? What a sweet deal! 

I didn't follow the templates perfectly but that's the whole point of making something handmade and personally. It resulted in a coordinating and fun collection of cards, some of which my hostess picked out as my thank you for opening up her home for the workshop.

Another great point of sharing this project to you is that you do not need a ton of supplies to make many nice gifts. This is especially so when you're first starting out. It's just like a wardrobe, with a few versatile core pieces, the possibilities are great!
