One Sheet Wonder Template and Sketch Measurements

Hello,

 

This post is going to be longer than unlikely my usual post because there are more step-by-step photos for One Sheet Wonder (OSW) Template and Sketch Measurements. I hope you will take time to read through as I am sure you would appreciate it at the end.

 

Now I DO like to work on sketch measurements every time when I create my cards by applying the One Sheet Wonder Template.  It's not only fun but also very productive.  Since I have been making cards for our Heroes and donating them to Operation Write Home, it has been always a challenge to be creative and productive at the same time. I hope what I share would help every one to meet these expectations with less hassle. Most of all, you will not end up with scraps that we all used to have and I want to keep it as my reference to check back any time. 

 

Here are steps how I started. You are welcome to take it and share it with others to make more cards for our Heroes.

• 12"x12" Grid Paper is a great tool to start working on the measurements.

• My first post - One Sheet Wonder Template, OWH Tuesday Tutorial - The One Sheet Wonder (I didn't use the grid paper at first.) and all the links below to see previous posts and more cards that I shared.

• One Sheet Wonder Template photo.  Please click the photo to enlarge it.

• Step 1 - Cutting 5"x12", 5"x12" and 2"x12"

• Step 2 - Cutting 3-1/2"x5", 3-1/2"x5", 3-1/2"x5" and 1-1/2"x5"

• Step 3 - Cutting sizes as shown on the template to create various designs. Layer them on the 4"x5-1/4" sized matching colored cardstock.

I played the Paper Players sketch challenge last week and HERE is my post.  I worked on the measurements for this sketch and here you go.

 

 

 

I used two sheets of 12"x12" double-sided designer series paper (dsp) so I could have four different dsp pieces.  As you can see I started cutting by the step1 and the step 2 of the OSW template except the lengthwise 1/4" shorter, i.e., 3-1/2"x4-3/4" so that it will fit in the layering cardstock sized 4"x5-1/4". Because there is a space in between dsp pieces.

 

•  Step 1 - Cutting 4-3/4"x12", 4-3/4"x12" and 2-1/2"x12"

•  Step 2 - Cutting 3-1/2"x4-3/4", 3-1/2"x4-3/4", 3-1/2"x4-3/4"and 1-1/2"x5"

 

This is the step 3 of OSW template for this particular sketch challenge and layered on the matching colored cardstock.  All what you need to do is adding the sentiment of your choice.

 

 

Also I played Freshly Made Sketches #88 and here is my card to enter. I love how it turned out.  I used one sheet of 12"x12" double-sided dsp and it was easier to coordinate dsp pieces by cutting the measurements that I came up with.  You can make 6 identical cards and 3 in different layouts.

This is Freshly Made Sketches #88 and my measurements next to it.

 

 

• Step 1 - Cutting 5"x12", 5"x12" and 2"x12"

•  Step 2 - Cutting 3-1/2"x5", 3-1/2"x5", 3-1/2"x5"and 1-1/2"x5"

•  Step 3 - Cutting 2-1/4"x5", 3/4"x5" and 1/2"x5".

•  Step 4 to 6 - Layering on the 4"x5-1/4" sized matching colored cardstock.

 Whew...  thanks for your patience with me.  I need a big hug, too.

OWH S&S Midweek Throwdown Challenge & Sketch #PP147

 Midweek Throwdown Transportation

This week's challenge is to make general any occasion cards using something on your card that represents transportation, cars, trucks, planes, trains, etc. for our heroes to send home to their family and friends!

I used the Joy Ride 36 sheets of 6x6 paper pack from Cosmo Cricket. This has been in my shelf for a long time. I remembered it when I saw this week's Midweek Throwdown challenge.

I played with the Paper Players Sketch Challenge #147.

I made 14 cards out of the 8 papers from this pack, 2 black cardstock, 1 bermuda bay, 2 dusty durango (retired) that I started cutting.  First I made a card to play with the sketch.  It took longer time to put the rest of the left over pieces that are different sized and I tried to use them up.
