Ever feel like you have patterned paper piling up, but you’re not sure how to use it? A One Sheet Wonder is the perfect solution! In this week’s Stamp with Me Tuesday, I shared how to cut a single 6” x 6” piece of patterned paper into pieces to make four handmade cards. It’s a quick and fun way to get the most out of your supplies and create beautiful cards in no time.

I made three different sets of cards, each featuring a different stamp set and Designer Series Paper. From Christmas to fall to all-occasion cards, you’ll see just how versatile this technique can be. Keep reading for photos of each set of cards and grab your free project sheet with all the cutting dimensions!

Christmas Card Supply List

Festive Friends + Christmas Tags & More DSP

The first set of cards features the Festive Friends stamp set paired with the Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper. I love how whimsical and cheerful these turned out!
​
Each card highlights a different character from the set: Santa, the elf, and the snowman. The fourth card switches it up with a forest scene using die-cut trees from the coordinating dies. With playful patterned paper in the background and a few festive embellishments, these cards are ready to spread holiday cheer.

Beautiful Pumpkins + Gathering Moments DSP

Next up, I used the Beautiful Pumpkins bundle with the Gathering Moments Designer Series Paper to create a set of autumn-inspired thank you cards.
​
This stamp set is a two-step stamping dream! For the pumpkins, I stamped the base layer in Cajun Craze ink, stamped off once for a lighter shade, and then added the detailed top layer full strength. The result is a warm, layered look that pairs beautifully with the fall-themed patterned paper. These cards are perfect for seasonal thank you notes.

Peace on Earth Supply List

Peace on Earth + Peaceful Garden DSP

Finally, I used the Peace on Earth bundle with the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper to create four more cards. This DSP features dreamy shades of blue like Secret Sea, Misty Moonlight, and Lost Lagoon - perfect for elegant cards.

I made two Christmas cards, one sympathy card, and one thinking of you card. With the soft blues and beautiful stamped images, these cards have a calm and peaceful feel that works for a variety of occasions.
