I hadn't done a one-sheet wonder challenge since I started stamping over ten years ago. When I stumbled unto the challenge along with complete PDF with cutting info on the Viva la Verve blog in December, I thought it would be the perfect project to get me stamping during the Holiday break. It was also a great excuse to break in my new SAB and Occasions Catalogue preorder items, so here are the three cards that were born out of it.
And for those interested in getting the One-Sheet Wonder PDF, check out this LINK.
SAB Items
- Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper - it's initially all white with embossed designs, and you ink or color the paper any way you want to make the design appear. On my card, I chose to sponge yellow ink on it.
- Simply Wonderful Stamp Set - a great sentiment set, offered both in French and English
- A Happy Thing Stamp Set - isn't that lemon image just cute? It seems to be well-liked, as I've seen it on numerous projects online. I used the Blendabilities markers to color it...
- ... which incidentally you can get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration! All of the colours from the annual catalogue are offered as a possible freebie with purchase, so if you've been hesitant to try them or if you are currently building your collection, now is the time to get them! (We also have four new color collections that were added to the Occasions catalogue.)
- Wondering what this new stamp set and where it's coming from? It's the latest photopolymer release and it's called Snuggles & Smooches, so it does not appear in any of the catalogues, but you can see the full stamp set online if you are curious. Click HERE.
- The Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (offered for free during Sale-A-Bration) includes buttons and three colors of ribbon. This ribbon is beautiful - it's not a stiff grosgrain like I expected from the picture, it's a really soft, silky-looking ribbon that ties beautifully. The colors are meant to match the Best Year Ever DSP (also offered for free during SAB), but they also match the colors in the Birthday Bash DSP, offered in the Occasions Catalogue.
- We now have sequin trim in Bermuda Bay! That makes me happy!
Notice the leaves underneath my flower? They're actually the hearts from the stamp set that I cut out and used as leaves. The squiggle image was used to both stamp the background and to create the flower underneath the main sentiment.
SAB Items
- Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper - this time, I used a Stampin' Spritzer bottle to color the polka dot background. I used Pool Party and Old Olive mists to spritz the background, and then added stamped dots and flowers from the Best Day Ever Stamp Set (another SAB offering).
- Best Year Ever Accessory Pack - The buttons and the ribbon both come from this pack.
- Blendabilities Markers - used to color the bunny image. Get a couple of sets for free during SAB to try them out (before committing to purchasing the rest!).
Occasions Catalogue Items
- Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper - I had the Scallop Circle punched image from another project lying on my desk and then I thought I could add it underneath the oval to look like the bunny's tail! How it's all in the little details...
- Happy Easter Bunny Single Stamp - For French stampers, please note that this single stamp does NOT come in wood-mount in the French version, only in clear-mount. There's been a print mistake in the French catalogue.
