Hello everybody! Welcome to my blog!
Today I’m blog hopping with my friends to bring you some Creative INKspiration. This month our theme is the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. When I first saw this catalogue I fell in love with the Expressions of Ink Suite. The paper particularly is the standout product from this suite. I want to make sure I use every squared mm of this paper. So I have created a 12″x12″ One Sheet Wonder for the A4 market. I have found a lot of One Sheet Wonders are great for the North American market and don’t quite work with card bases made using A4 cardstock. So here’s one with no waste!!! I was able to create 10 cards in total with 6 basic layout designs:

One Sheet Wonder Basic Supplies:
- One 12″x12″ DSP (I used the Expressions In Ink DSP)
- Eight portrait card bases and two landscape card bases (1/2 A4 sheet folded in half, I’ve used Basic White Thick)
- Four card fronts cut to 8.8 x 13.1 cm (I used Shaded Spruce)
- Sentiment Labels:
- Dies (I used Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Basic White)
- Sentiment stamp set (I used Biggest Wish)
- Ink pad/s (I used Magenta Madness & Tuxedo Black)
- Embellishments of your choice (I used Square Vellum Doilies and Expression In Ink Ephemera Pack)
- Adhesive recommendations: Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Glue Dots
Cutting the One Sheet Wonder:
There aren’t exact measurement for each panel in my design and that’s because I didn’t want any waste so left over parts where used as what size they remain. I will walk you through the cutting:
Cut 1:
Cut the top half of the DSP at 25.6 cm
Cut 2:
Then cut a piece off 17 cm wide (so it’s 17 x 25.6 cm)
Cut 3:
Cut the piece in half lengthways at 8.5 cm
Cuts 4 & 5:
Cut the two pieces in half at 12.8 cm. You now have four panels for card designs 1 &
Cut 6:
Take the other sheet and cut off 14.8 cm from the top
Cut 7:
Cut this in half at approximately 6.7 cm – it doesn’t matter if its not equally half as these both go onto two different cards for the third card design
Cut 8:
Cut this left over piece in half too for card design 4. Cut in half at approximately 6.7 cm
Cuts 9 & 10:
Take the long strip and cut two pieces 10.5 cm wide. These are for card design 5 and the remainder is for card design 6
Card Design 1:
These are mounted on the Shaded Spruce and I’ve used both sides of the DSP. Adhered to a portrait card base in the centre.
Card Design 2:
These are again mounted on Shaded Spruce but adhered to the portrait card bases on an angle just for fun really. You could create four of card design 1 or 2 if you’d like.
Card Design 3:
The DSP here covers about 2/3 of the card. You could place it to the left or the right. The height matches the card base.
Card Design 4:
I’ve adhered the DSP to the bottom left corner for both cards, but you could have it towards any corner you’d like.
Card Design 5 & 6:
Last two card designs use landscape card bases. I have two DSP pieces on card 5 and then one on card 6. You could place the DSP how ever you’d like.
Decoration:
To finish my cards off I did the same concept on all 10 cards. I cut a sentiment label from Basic White using Stitched So Sweetly. Stamped and then added them to the cards using Stampin’ Dimensionals with either a whole or half of a Square Vellum Doilies. I added extra interest with the stunning Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack.
These cards I created for my customers who shopped with me in April 2021. I like to include a small thank you gift for supporting me. I also decorated this gift to coordinate with the cards (as well has the envelope):
