Greeting Cards, One Sheet Wonder

Make 14 greeting cards using one sheet of 12 X 12 scrap-booking paper!

Supplies you will need: One sheet of 12 X 12 scrapbook paper (double sided optional)

Card stock card bases 8.5 in X 5.5 inches, folded in half (these may be purchased or cut from plain colored card stock of your choosing)

Paper cutter

Glue or two-sided tape of your choice (I used a basic acid free glue stick)

Stamps or decorations of your choice, scraps of paper, ribbons, buttons, etc.

Print or photograph these two patterns to use in your project.

Then, following the pattern, cut your paper into pieces as directed by the pattern measurements.

Label your pieces by number with sticky notes according to the card pattern paper.

Starting with card #1, use your adhesive to attach the scrapbook paper to the card as shown in the picture pattern.

Card # 6 is different on the cutting pattern than in the picture pattern. The paper piece is larger. You may cut it down to size, or keep it larger. I chose to cut it into three pieces and turn two over to the contrasting side. I also turned it on it's side so I had room to stamp a greeting.

Card # 5-the scrap-book paper piece was wider than in the picture

Card #9-I turned the paper the other way

Card #10-I reversed the paper and turned the card on it's side

The only rule here is "be creative"! The pattern is just a guide!

Using your stamps, stickers, ribbons, contrast paper, buttons, or other decorations, create cards that you will enjoy giving away!

Embellish as you like.

Have fun with it!
