    Q: raymond7978 asked: "Is there a tutorial available or directions somewhere on how to make the one sheet wonder cards? I am very interested in trying out this project."
    A: The "One Sheet Wonder" concept is pretty easy. Start with pre-patterned paper or stamp your own, then use a downloaded template to cut the paper up. The pieces will then be used on cards, 3-d items, or scrapbook page elements. We have a gallery full of ideas, as well as downloads, in the One Sheet Wonder gallery.
     
    Feedback From Past Tutorials
    Patty has a tip for coloring chipboard edges. "I had a hard time getting the ink on all of the chipboard. Then I tried an eyeshadow applicator. They're small enough to fit into the corners and insides, and work well to cover the naked edges."
