One Sheet Wonder

Last week a friends father passed away. So I wanted to make some Thank you cards for the family. Plus tie the cards into this months StampIn Up So Shelli - Creative Challenge. The theme is "Keeping it Simple". To me nothing keeps it simple then the one sheet wonder technique - you stamp up one sheet of whisper white card stock... basically creating your own designer series paper.

I first chose my colors, I knew I wanted bright fun colors, naturally my thoughts went to the 2011-13 In Color Line. Next I wanted to use a fun flower stamp set. Then I remembered a fun card I swapped for at my SIU convention last year from Missy Shipman, she had used the colors I chose and the Flower Fancy Stamp Set. Below is my one sheet creation.

First I stamped all over two sheets of
Whisper White CS (Item #100730 $8.50)
using
Fancy Flower Stamp Set Item (#111578 $36.95)
Ink pads:
Island Indigo (Item #122937 $5.95)
Calyspo Coral (Item # 122939 $5.95)
Lucky Limeade (Item #122935 $5.95)
Here are my final cards I created with just two sheets of 8 1/2 X 11 Whisper White CS that I stampped all over. I created 15 different cards. Plus I only spent about 2.5 hours creating all these cards and 3 loads of laundry.
