One Sheet Wonder Part 2 – Autumn Toile

One Sheet Wonder Part 2 – Autumn Toile. Ready for part 2? Today, we will look at Cards 4 to 6. I will be replicating the cutting guide and card templates for easy reference.

Cards 4, 5 & 6

Additional items in part 2 is the So Swirly Embossing folder. I departed from what was recommended for card 4 because I wasn’t keen on using the largesy die in the die set to cut a tree from the Designer Series Paper. In lieu of cutting the tree, I simply fussy cut the paper to create a scene and used the largest Tree die to stamp and cut a proper tree which I coloured in with Stampin’ Blends (card 4 on the left).

Cutting guide 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) paper

Be aware of orientation of patterned paper if you’ve selected a directional pattern. However, if you select a non-directional pattern, it will make life easier. Another tip – prepare 6 card bases first. You can pick out card base colours according to those reflected in the patterned paper you are using, or you can stick to neutral colours like Basic White or Very Vanilla. Number each card on a post-it note and adhere to the cards so you can “file” them accordingly as you cut each column.

Card Templates

These were the card templates provided by Stampin’ Up! for all 6 cards. Today in Part 2 – we’re referring to Cards 4 to 6.

Fourth card

Use the largest die to die cut from this piece of DSP. I went off piste here, because I didn’t like the trees within a tree effect. If you like the effect, go ahead and follow the sample as illustrated in the catalogue on page 42.

1. Cut Pecan Pie card base at 5 ¾” x 8 ¼” (14.5 cm x 21 cm).
2. Inside layer : Very Vanilla cut at 5 ½” x 3 ⅞” (14 cm x 9.8 cm).
