OSW 3 and 4 Bold Music

Today's post is a continuation of my take on Jessica Taylor's One Sheet Wonder template which can be found here:  https://www.inkitupwithjessica.com/how-to-make-one-sheet-wonder-cards/

For both cards, I used the 2" x 5 1/4 " pieces from the template. The stamp sets I chose are both retired.  I bought them a couple years ago with great intentions, then never used them.  Have you ever done that?  I bet you have!

For this first card, I chose Life Music from Fun Stampers Journey.  I stamped the guitar/tree with Pumpkin Bread* and Fresh Forest* inks.  I love how they blend to make a third color.

Instructions:

• Make the card base from a piece of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"  Banana Cream cardstock*
• Mat the 2" x 5 1/4" patterned paper on a 2 1/8" x 5 4/8" piece of Chambray Shirt cardstock*
• Cut a 2 1/2" x 3 7/8" panel from  Butter Cream cardstock* 
• Ink the bottom half of the stamp with Pumpkin Bread ink* and the top with Fresh Forest Ink*, overlapping the inks in the middle and stamp it onto the Butter Cream panel.  To make stamping easier I used Tonic Studios - Tim Holtz - Stamp Platform*
• Mat the stamped panel on a piece of 2 5/8" x 4" Limeade Splash cardstock*
• Splatter the card base and the stamped panel with Electric Lime Silk* and Cool Pool Silk*
• Adhere the matted patterned paper strip to the left side of the card base, leaving about 1/8" border around the top, bottom and left sides.
• Pop up the stamped panel on Journey Foam Squares* in the center of the card.

For my second card, I used the Be Strong ATS from Fun Stampers Journey.  I have a growing pile of backgrounds that I've made using various techniques and I found a watercolor one that went well with the colors in the striped paper. I used it for the background for the lion and cat.

Instructions:

• Make the card base from a piece of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"  Banana Cream cardstock*
• Mat the 2" x 5 1/4" patterned paper on a 2 1/8" x 5 4/8" piece of Chambray Shirt cardstock*
• Use the Fiddle Leaf Embossing Folder* to emboss the front of the card.
• Adhere the pattened paper panel along the bottom edge of the card base, leaving a narrow border around the left, right and bottom edges.
• Cut a 2 12" x 3" panel from your chosen background and stamp the image with Black Licorice ink.
• Mat the stamped panel on a piece of 2 5/8" x 3 1/8" Limeade Splash cardstock*
• Splatter the panel and card front with Electric Lime Silk* and Cool Pool Silk*
• Stamp the sentiment on a small piece of Butter Cream cardstock* 
• Fussy cut around the outside of the sentiment and mat it on a piece of Limeade Splash cardstock*
• Pop the lion and cat image up on Journey Foam Squares* and position it about 1/2" in from the right edge of the card.
• Add a Journey Foam Square* to the left side of the sentiment and position it so that it overlaps the stamped panel.

OSW 1 and 2 Get Well and Go on an Adventure!

I recently stumbled across one sheet wonders.  I know they've been around for a long time, but for whatever reason I overlooked them before. They're great for getting me out of a creative rut. I also like the idea of creating a whole set of cards with the same color scheme. The series I'm featuring here is based on Jessica Taylor's One Sheet Wonder, which you can find here: https://www.inkitupwithjessica.com/how-to-make-one-sheet-wonder-cards/

I chose a blue/green/yellow striped paper for my one sheet and paired it with Limeade Splash*,  Banana Cream* and Chambray Shirt* card stock.  I always need "guy" cards and this color combo should fit the bill.

These first two cards are made with the 4" x 5 1/4' panels from the large sheet.

I'm almost out of get well cards so for this first one, I chose the Get Well Stamp Set*.  This silly chicken is bound to bring a smile.

Instructions:

• Make a card base from a 5 1/2" x 8" piece of Limeade Splash cardstock*
• Center and adhere the 4" x 5 1/4" striped panel on the front of the card base.
• Stamp the chicken and the sentiment on a 3" x 4 1/4" Banana Cream* panel with Black Licorice ink*  Color the chicken, mug and saucer with Journey Color Burst Pencils* 03, 11, 15, 21, 27, 46 and 48.
• Mat the stamped panel on a 3 3/8" x 4 5/8" Limeade Splash* panel.
• Wrap a piece of Whip Cream Journey Thread* around the panel and tie it in a bow.
• Pop the stamped, matted panel up on Journey Foam Squares* and center it on the front of the card.

For my second card, I chose the Begin Adventure ATS* and paired it with a watercolor background I made some time ago that went well with the paper and the theme.  Since this is sky-themed, I wanted a blue card base so I chose Chambray Shirt cardstock*.

Instructions:

• Make a card base from a 5 1/2" x 8" piece of Chambray Shirt cardstock*.
• Center and adhere the 4" x 5 1/4" striped panel on the front of the card base.
• Create a background on a Color Splash Watercolor Sheet using Lovely Blue Liquid Color*.
• After the background is dry, trim it to 2 7/8 x 4 1/8" (or just use Whip Cream cardstock*)
• Stamp the airplane at an angle on the background panel using Black Licorice ink*
• Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2" wide strip of light blue paper with Black Licorice ink*.  Trim the ends.
• Mat the stamped airplane panel on a 3" x 4 1/4" piece of Chambray Shirt cardstock*.
• Adhere the airplane panel at an angle onto the front of the card so that the airplane wings are more or less parallel with the top edge of the card.
• Curl the sentiment strip so it's wavy and pop it up on  Journey Foam Squares*  below the airplane.
