Cards: One Sheet Wonder - 8.5x11 paper

[Cat]

i had posted in my gallery, maybe eons ago ;), samples i created of a template for paper cutting and examples of card layouts, for a OSW technique that was widely distributed on the net.

i continue to get personal requests to email the file and never thought to post them here [some 'oldies' might remember a time at SCS before we had a downloads forum ;)].

so i thought i should post the files here to the board so people can find them and use them. i hope you find my file useful!

my gallery includes a card set here. and, you'll find TONS of ideas in the OSW gallery too.

[Cat]

wow - nearly 100 views of the file, and not a single comment? ;) guess someone's found this template useful!

BTT

Cat,

Thanks for sharing. This is the first 8 1/2 x 11 template I have seen. Of course, this is new to me, too. I'll be trying this out to make some note cards for some friends.

[ckealga]

Thank you so much!! I REALLY needed this!:-D

[MeganE]

AWESOME template! I just made a set of cards for my cousin for her birthday! Thanks so much for sharing!

[heathercraftalley]

This will be useful for me! I am thinking about finally using some of my favorite papers that I have been stockpiling!
Thanks!

[Cat]

thanks for posting ladies! glad i could help

[cmesinden]

This is a great OSW file! I'm sure those stampers just learning about OSWs will love this OSW template, card sketches, and even samples!

TFS!

[Denns]

Thanks for reposting this. I lost my copy when I had to get a new computer and was doing a search trying to find this again.

[sowaller]

This is a great idea for me to use to make cards for my aunt...Thanks!

[Denns]

I downloaded the template and I'm just wondering - do you just use white pre-folded cards for these? Or do you make your cards to coordinate with the printed papers?
Thanks

[clyve]

Wow Cat, I'm new at stamping and this template looks like being the most useful template that I've come across so far. TFS.

AWESOME! Love this template I especially like the fact that I can use a
8 1/2 X 11 sheet... most of the others use a 12 x 12 sheet.

[ashjoy]

Oh my gosh, I love it....Going to give it a try as soon as my laundry is done, thanks!

[missyterry]

Thank you Cat....always appreciate your templates.

[StampinAK]

Here's my OSW with Cat's template and instructions:
Ocean Friends OSW by StampinAK at Splitcoaststampers

I cut out the actual template and copied it to fit an 8.5 x 11 sheet. Then I copied it onto the back of my cardstock. I randomly stamped all over the front of the cardstock. When I was done I flipped it over and had the guide to cut everything out! I actually made 8 cards and consolidated a couple of Cat's examples.

This was a lot of fun and makes a great gift.

[grammasuzi]

Thank you! I've been looking for days! Just what a wanted. So good of you to share.

[cmetelko]

Thanks for sharing - again!

[Unfading Spring]

Thaks for sharing, will be giving this a try soon. maybe make some Xmas cards with it.

great idea! i've had stampers ask about this, so your tip should help out!

[klwco]

AWESOME - your template rocks - neat and clean - easy to follow and so handy! Thanks so much. I like the idea of literally printing out the first sheet of your template onto card stock and then using the other side as the DP (whether it is DP or it's CS that you stamp to make DP) and then cut on the lines that are on the back. Makes it quick and easy. WONDERFUL! Thanks a million

[GarnetJ]

Thanks for the info! I just heard about this recently and have been looking for more information! Thank you for sharing the templates- I really appreciate it!

[BirdsCards]

very clever, thanks

[StampinDeb]

Thank you! I got this many moons ago from you but lost EVERYTHING on my computer in July when my lovely daughter downloaded a virus by mistake. grrr. I appreciate you posting this

[sodell]

this is the best instructions and layout I've seen for the OSW yet!!! Thanks so much for sharing! I've saved several of these instructions but never have tried it, but now I will for sure, you could not have made it any easier or more organized. I so appreciate all the effort that goes into the samples, tutorials, instructions, etc. that are posted on SCS. This is such a wonderful website. Anyway, thanks so much for your OSW- it is terrific!

[Effingham Stamper]

Thanks so much for sharing this. Easy to follow. Can't wait to create a project with this template.

[sandyluvstamps]

how cool! will you be using the same images/colors for each set? using different stamp sets or colors would make your sets similar, but each one unique be sure to post pictures when you're done!

[sandyluvstamps]

Not for sure yet but maybe I will do them in different colors and then similiar stamps but as soon as I get some done I will post a pic(s)
