6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder with 'Tis The Season DSP

Don't you love it when you can make the most of your beautiful Designer Series Paper? I do! I found this beautiful layout on Pinterest and CASE'D it from Nicole Belesimo from a few years ago.

Start out with one sheet of 6" x 6" DSP and cut it in half.

Then cut each of the 3" pieces into the dimensions shown in the photo. The panels are number from left to right, top to bottom for the corresponding card.

Then cut your layering cardstock (Cherry Cobbler) into the following dimensions.

Card 1: 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" (one piece)

Card 2: 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" (one piece)

Card 3: 2" x 5" (one piece secondary color/Garden Green) & 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" (three pieces)

Card 4: 2-1/2" x 1-3/4" (two pieces)

Card 5: 1-3/4" x 1-1/4" (four pieces)

Card 6: 3-1/4 x 2" (one piece)

Background layer:

5 pieces 4" x 5-1/4" (Garden Green)

Card Bases:

3 pieces of Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock, cut in half (5-1/2") and scored at 4-1/4"

After cutting the DSP and the background layer, glue them together. I had mine all on a pile on my desk and it got to be a little bit of a discombobulation!

For card three I ran the horizontal layer through my embossing machine with the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder. Then I also trimmed the back of the Garden Green layer with some narrow strips of Cherry Cobbler that I had left over from another project. I save all my strips for things like this. No sense wasting a whole piece of cardstock.

I also wrapped the ribbon around the front at this point.

Then I layered the outside panel pieces onto the front first and then centered the middle one between these two. I tried it with the middle one first but this worked much better.

Here are the rest of the cards. They are pretty each to figure out. I think if I did it a second time.

I chose to emboss the card with White Embossing Powder, I think it set off the sentiments a little bit more and inking them, except for Card 4 which is stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

The stamp set I used is Poinsettia Petals for the sentiments. I also used the dies for the little berries and branches on Card 6.
