Today we'll be sharing our Halloween Inspirations. I held a card class in late August which included a Halloween card I'll be sharing today. I typically do not send out many Halloween cards but love to send them to my grandkids and a close grand niece/nephew.
The card on the right is the original card. I decided to make a 2nd card showing the option of coloring a few squares with Stampin' Blends. I don't have any current Halloween sets so the sentiment is from the September 2022 Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin Kit

Today features the monthly Technique Tuesday. Today's topic is using the one sheet wonder technique. This is a great way to get a lot of cards done using one sheet of designer series paper. It works for both 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 paper, but you can clearly get more done using 12x 12 sheet.
I used the following outline from demonstrator Elizabeth Jeanne Thatcher to cut my paper and create the cards.
I send a lot of Christmas cards each year, so the one sheet wonder technique works great to use a sheet of DSP with no waste, along with saving time as the design is essentially decided. I am using a sheet from the Boughs of Holly 12x12 designer series paper; below are my cut outs
I kept the design of my 6 cards simple, letting the beauty of the paper make the card. The sentiments I used are from the 2 new Holiday kits in the kit collection along with the Very Best Occasion stamp set. I splurged and added an embossing layer of red cardstock with the Brick & Mortar folder, cut to add as the top layer on cards 3 & 5. Lastly, cards 1, 4,7 & 8 I created as a bookbinder fold which means I had an extra step to cut a small strip for the binder end and the 1/8' strip piece leftover I put inside the card. Absolutely no waste withe this sheet of designer series paper!!

The Team will be sharing projects inspired by our fabulous metallic products. My project is inspired by Sue Mohr. I chose the muted gold sheet from the 3 types of colors in the Brushed Artistic cardstock instead of crumb cake she used for the large floral die cut from the Artistic dies.
The card turned out absolutely stunning. The gold does not photo very well, but it really is so pretty! I've shared this before, but when working with delicate die cuts, adhere an adhesive sheet to the back of your paper before die cutting. Carefully remove the protective layer and it essentially pulls all of the bits and pieces from the die cut and adheres super easy!
