Stampin' Up! One Sheet Wonder featuring Animal Expedition Designer Paper

#StopHoardingYourDesignerPaper

Stampers!  We have talked about this in the past.  Are you a hoarder of designer paper?  Do you buy it because it is so pretty, but then you can't bear to cut into it?  If we were raising our hands to answer yes to that question, my hand would be right up there with you all.  I always think I will save it for a special occasion, but really, isn't every single day a special occasion?  Get that paper out!!!!! Let's cut it up and make some beautiful cards to mail out. 

 

This is the design I chose to use

 

I used this paper last week for my Facebook Live Event.  Do you recognize it?   See all of those cute giraffe and rhinos?  Check it out here:  Animal Outing Facebook Live

Today's project uses one piece of the Animal Expedition 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (referred to as DSP) cut into 11 different pieces.  You will also need some coordinating cardstock for card bases and a stamp set.  I used the One For All Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I will not be giving dimensions for all 11 of the cards, but I will show you which designer paper pieces I used to create the cards and the sizes for each card.  

Let's start with the layout.  I used one piece of 12x12 paper cut as shown below.  There will be just a few scraps leftover.  I bet you might even be able to create one extra card with them if you're really creative. 

Here are the card layouts, the card base colors and the size designer paper I used:

Top Card (pool party base 3 1/2" x 4" dsp)
Lower left card (calypso coral card base, 3 1/2" x 5" dsp cut at a diagonal)
Right  Card (Call Me Clover card base, 4" x 5 1/4" dsp)


 

Upper Left card (lemon lime twist card base, 2" x 5 1/4" dsp)
Upper Right (Lemon Lime Twist card base, 4" x 5 1/4" dsp, fold down 1 1/4" to create area for card pullout.  Card pullout measures 3" x 4 1/2"
Lower card (call me clover card base, 3 1/2" x 3" dsp)

Upper Left Card (Call me Clover card base, 4" x 1 1/2" dsp)
Upper Right Card (Granny Apple green card base, 2" x 5 1/4" dsp)
Lower Right card (whisper white card base, cut 1" off front right edge, 1" x 5 1/2" dsp)

 

Left Card (whisper white card base, 1 1/2" x 4" dsp)
Right Card (Berry Burst Card base, 2 1/2 x 5 1/2" dsp)
