One Sheet Wonder with Snowflakes!

 Check out these snowflakes that I stamped using the 'Snowflake Wishes' stamp set.

I stamped these vertically & horizontally down the center of
a 8 1/2 x 11" piece of Basic White card stock.
I stamped the snowflakes using Misty Moonlight ink.
 
For these 4 cards, 2 of them have bases that are 4 1/4 x 11" & 
2 of them have bases that are 5 1/2 x 8 1/2".
Check out below how they are basically all the same, but I have changed them up.
This one is an easel card.
I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to cut out the words.
NOTE:  The front of the is attached to the bottom end of 
the scored part only here as shown in the photo. 
This one is a simple one with the words stamped directly onto the
card stock & the ribbon tied around the end.
It is a z fold card & looks like this when opened up.
This is a 4 1/4 x 11" piece of card stock- score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2" to make this z fold.
NOTE:  Attach the card front to the left side of the card base only.
This is simple....yet so pretty!
I just love this sparkly ribbon.
It is the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
 This is what the inside looks like! 
For this one I used the Seasonal Label Dies 
to layer the words on the front of the card.
This is also an easel card, but is is also a z fold card.
 NOTE:  The card front is attached to the left side of the 
card front only to form the z fold & then stand up! 

stamp set:  'Snowflake Wishes'

One Sheet Wonder with Gorgeous Leaves

It is SIMPLE Saturday!

I did another One Sheet Wonder using the 
'Gorgeous Leaves' stamp set!

I LOVE FALL!
And I think these cards turned out super cute.
They are clean & simple, yet sooooo pretty!
 
Look below to see how I did this.......

3.  I then trimmed 1/2" off of one of the 4 1/4" ends & 1/2" off of one of the 5 1/2" ends.
I trimmed off of the edges that had the most WHITE space.   
(DO NOT TRIM OFF THE SIDES that have the more dense leaf images.)
4.  The White piece of card stock with the leaf images needed to 
measure 3 3/4 x 5" for the exact same layout on my cards shown here.
I stamped the leaves in these colors-
Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
The tiny cluster of leaves are stamped in Soft Suede.
And the splatters is stamped in Crumb Cake.
These words are from the 'Heartfelt Wishes' stamp set.
I made this card into a fun Z fold.
The base of this card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 
to make the Z fold.
Here are the supplies & measurements.
