A few weeks ago I decided to use up a piece of designer paper by using a 12 x 12 One Sheet Wonder pattern from Mary Knabe.  You can see her video HERE.  Here video is a "Baker's Dozen" however I only did 12 cards and did "go rogue" on some of them.  I'm glad the sheet of patterned paper has been used, although I'm not overly thrilled with the cards.  You can see the individual cards below.

 

One thing about finding patterns for One Sheet Wonder cards is that you can always just pick and choose the ones you want to make.  Thank you for coming by today!

 

Sharon Armstrong started having a "Monday Mystery Stamping" when we were all being extremely careful about going out during Covid.  On Sundays Sharon sends out an email with the measurements and supplies that will be needed for the following evening.  That consists of Clue #1.  

Then one by one Clues are given for instructions on to how the card is to be assembled.  It's been a long time since I have participated in one of them although I do check out the video fairly often.  Last Monday night while my husband was playing cards I decided to check it out.  

This is the card I made with the instructions.  I did  make some minor adjustments with the placement of the pieces.

I added this die cut to the inside but I'm waiting to add a sentiment until the card is used.  If you want to see the video from February 10, you can check it out HERE.  Then you can go to her website which is given in the information below the video for her website to download a copy of the instructions and all the meausrements.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

This card definitely looked more intimidating than it was.  However, I did actually make one just using copy paper first to make sure I understood how to do it.  I had intended to include a link to a video of how to make this but for the life of me I cannot  find it.  If I do eventually discover where I saw it, I will add a link on this video so just check back now and then to find out if I located it.

 Thank you for coming by today!

Below you can see two Valentines that were given to two of our granddaughters.

Jackie Bolhuis and her husband had a lot of videos showing various fun fold cards.  Each video originally shows 4 different versions but after they had 12 videos, they went back and did an update with one more added to each one.  I made templates of each of them and decided to draw on them for ideas to make the grandchildren's cards this year since they alway like to get cards that are different than a standard A2 version.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

 

The paper I used for this card is from the Marbled Elegance collection from Stampin' Up!   The card stock is Melon Mambo also from SU.  The small heart is gold foil and it is hard to get a picture of it without some sort of reflection in it.

This isn't my favorite Valentine that I made, but I was trying to use up some left over pieces of dsp.  I wanted to use the layered heart for the closure but there was too much open space on the right hand panel.  I added the two smaller layered hearts.  It's OK, but like I said, not my favorite.

The card didn't want to stay nice and flat so I added a small Velcro piece to help with the closure.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

VALENTINE FOR THE GUYS

 Yesterday I wanted to find a Valentine that wasn't "girly" mostly because of our Grandson but we also send cards to four men who are in a care center.  I found one on Pinterest that Mary Fish had made.  I altered mine and simplified.  I really like it though and made 5 of them like this.

Thank you for coming by today!
