The challenge - 10 cards, 10x10cm and one sheet of patterned paper.

A few weeks ago, I got the new stamps from Huldra design. They have Norwegian texts and are so inspirering. I created 10 - 10cm x 10 cm cards and a box with one sheet of paper. Huldra designstudio also has a challenge and you can find out how to enter at the bottom of the blog post.

I only used one sheet of patterned paper - so these are a One sheet wonder - set of cards. I used the sweet Counting sheep paper from Doodlebug. This paper has sweet sheeps at the front and flowers on the back side. With a one sheet wonder, you then get two different patterns to use. 

All the cards are different. I have only used stamps fra Huldra designstudio.

"Velg gleden - Choose happines" is a stamp from Huldra - Brushtekst. The circular dies is from the die set Fancy circles from LDRS creative. I used green bazzill at the back, embossed with an embossing folder from Sizzix. The leaf is a die from the set Grace Build-A-Card Dies fra LDRS creative.

Shaker card Bonanza - How to create shaker cards

I am often giving classes, and get asked about how to create shaker cards. I decided to go through the process of creating some different shaker cards.  These nine 4" x 4" shaker cards, are created from one sheet of patterned paper. I used glass beads, half beads, sequins and micro beads inside the shaker boxes. The shaker boxes has been made from packaging or hand made with dies, acetate, paper and 3d foam. 

I have used micro beads, beads, sand, sequins and half beads inside the cards. In the video below, I am going through the different ways of creating these shaker cards.

Cards with a shaker box with a pattern:

Cards with several shaker boxes:

These shaker cards are great, where you want different colour beads or sequins inside different parts of the card. To create these cards, you create several shaker boxes behind the front cardstock.

One sheet wonder - 16 cards from one patterned paper

Several foreign crafters, have made a set of cards, using only one sheet of patterned papter. The cards should all be different. You can use many sheets of cardstock and different embellishment, but only one sheet of patterned paper. These cards are often called "One sheet wonder".

I decided to have a go, and created 16 different 10x10 cards, using only one sheet of patterned paper. Choosing a paper with nice pattern on both sides help, for these kind of projects.

Here, I have used Majas new Christmas collection, I wish. 

The 16 different cards:

I decided to post photos of the different cards in sets of two.

(Thanks to Mona Nilsen, for inspiration to the Christmas tree card with the last left overs.)

This is how I divided the patterned paper:
