One Sheet Wonder Series - Cards A & B

Hello!  Happy Saturday and Happy World Cardmaking Day!!  Today is the first post for my new Saturday card series.  The idea for this card series is based on the One Sheet Wonder idea.  Never heard of a One Sheet Wonder?  Well, you start with one sheet of Designer Series Paper and make multiple cards quickly and easily.  I wanted to take that one step further and combine that with fun folds making the cards even more interesting.  Over the next 7 weeks, we are going to make 15 different cards using 10 different folding techniques.  I tried to make the folds simple enough that you just need a paper trimmer and score board (only one uses some circle punches, but can be easily adapted if you don't have those punches).

These cards are going to feature the Park Lane Designer Series Paper from the 2014-15 Annual Catalog.  My focal paper is the floral paper.  I did add a second sheet of paper of DSP from that pack to coordinate.  The card bases are Sahara Sand cardstock.

I have done all the measuring for you and have prepared cutting diagrams to help you get the most from your cardstock and DSP.  If you want to work ahead, you can cut the cardstock and DSP and label them with the letter on the diagram.  Then sort them by letter so you have all the pieces you need for assembling each card.  I also have some general directions for all cards as well as specific directions for each card - including the folding technique.

Here are first two cards:

Card A - Gate Fold Card

Card base:

1.  Start with a card base cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
2.  Score at 2 3/4" and 7"
3.  Fold on the score lines toward the center.
4.  Add DSP.
5.  Arrange two coordinating sentiments vertically over the seam of the gate fold.  Place dimensional adhesive on the left side of the top sentiment and the right side of the bottom sentiment.  Adhere to card.

Card B - Standard Side Fold

Card base:

1.  Start with a card base cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
2.  Score at 4 1/4"
3.  Fold in half on the score line.
4.  Embellish!
