12 x 12 Tuesday

Welcome back for another 12 x 12 Tuesday!

As promised last week,

the goal this week was to create multiple cards 

from a single 12 x 12 sheet of paper.

You can check out my new Pinterest board,

ONE SHEET WONDERS,

for some suggestions of cut layouts.

The cut map I choose could make 16 cards,

however, I decided to use multiple pieces on several cards,

which left me with 11 cards.

I challenged myself to make 11 very different cards.

I did use 2+ additional sheets of the same pattern paper

to line and decorate the envelopes.

As always,

my kid cards are going to:

12 x 12 Tuesday

August is 12 x 12 Tuesday month

(my own personal declaration)

Every Tuesday I will feature one 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper,

and share how I have used it.

This week features this beautiful paper from Echo Park

(double-sided paper is a must for this project)

The goal was to use up as much of the paper as possible.

I was able to create an A2 size envelope (5.5" x 4.25"),

a mat for the front of the envelope,

a mat and frame for the card face,

and fussy cut flowers.

An 8.5x11 sheet of white cardstock,

foam squares,

stamps and ink,

adhesives,

and a few floral sequins

were the only additional items required.

I used a few dies,

but the rectangles could be cut with scissors or a trimmer,

and a circle would work just as nicely for the focal stamped image.

I have already begun next week's project,

and it is a bit of an opposite approach to this week.

Instead of using one sheet of paper on one card,

I will see how many card faces I can create with one 12x12 sheet.

This is contrary to how I usually work.

I have so many supplies that I feel I will never use them up,

so I seldom worry about making one sheet of paper cover so much ground.

It should be interesting.

Thanks for visiting today!

hugs,

Kim
