Splitcoast (do you know about Splitcoast Stampers? If you love Stampin Up sets and don't know about it, then you're really missing out!! It's a wealth of card ideas and projects organised into galleries, one for each set. I love it!!) Anyway, One Sheet Wonders are where you sit down with one sheet of 12x12 paper and co-ordinating cardstock, stamps etc and make a whole bunch of cards in one sitting. Well, I haven't done it in ages and there are papers in my collection which I've had for a while with the idea of making cards, not scrappin, so it was time I got them out of my scrappin box and into some cards! For the first card I used Stampin Up's Butterfly Prints which I love cos I love the houndstooth print! I have the co-ordinating punch which makes it oh-so-easy to make quick cards! 
I love it when there is a co-ordinating punch! I matched the paper on that card with a pretty pink floral and tore the edge for a bit of interest. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.This second card is using Good Friend from SU which I'm sad to say is retiring {sad face}. The bird is just so cute! I think I will hang on to the set though, it's so sweet and it's fun to build the bird cos his body, wing, beak and legs are all separate stamps! The flower stamp and stems are also in this set.
The striped paper is actually double sided and has this funky heart print on the reverse side so I flipped the paper to make this card. I punched a strip of the striped paper to add some detail and attached the pink ribbon for the birdie to stand on :) I love the curly label punch from SU so I stamped the sentiment, punched it out and offset it on the bottom of the card. I think it looks pretty cool!
Its fun to sit down with one sheet and go to town with it, especially cos you already have all the co-ordinating cardstock and inks out on the table! It makes for some easy cardmaking!
Happy Monday! It's Hot Dogs for lunch for us! I may have been inspired by Martha last week!
