Hello everyone! I'm Susan Boback, Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator. I am the Card Connoisseur - I love paper crafting which I've done most of my life. I remember falling in love with paper at about 12 y.o. when my uncle worked for Kodak in NY and would bring home various cardstock pieces.
I designed this very basic card for my Spring 2022 Open House to kick off the NEW Annual Catalog, and to show card makers just how simple it is to take one 12x12 piece of double sided paper (here we're using the beautiful Sun Prints with the colors of Navy or Starry Night and Smoky Slate) and use it for several cards. While I hope you'll use our Designer Series Papers, my ideas are always adaptable to whatever supplies you have to use.
I have tried to make my own sun prints, with placing sprigs of plants and leaves on black paper and let them sit in the sun, but I've never been too successful with that effort. Now I won't have to try any longer as Stampin' Up! has designed the SUN PRINTS papers, and I can't wait to show you how beautiful they are!
Here is the SUN PRINTS ONE SHEET WONDER FOR 12X12 DSP

The DSP (Designer Series Paper) comes in 12x12 sheets, 2
pieces each of 6 designs. The paper is
double sided and coordinated by color and design with many of the Stampin' Up! products in the annual catalog.
Cut ONE 12x12 into:
·
SIX 5 x 3 ¾” pieces AND
·
TWO 5 x ¾” pieces AND
·
ONE 2x12” pieces
A “ONE SHEET WONDER” can be used for many card designs. Cut ONE piece of 12x12 DSP by the above measurements,
and get the following:
SIX (6) card fronts to be used on Basic White (159276),
Smoky Slate (131202) or Night of Navy(100867) card base. This card base is an A2 – it measures 8 ½” x
11”, cut in two at 5 ½” and is scored
in half at 4 1/4” OR cut in two at 4 ¼” and scored in half at 5 ½”. (Featured card at the top of the page)
Attach this 5 x 3 ¾” piece to the front. Add a sentiment, die cut and ribbon.
ONE (1) card front made from the 2- 3/4 x 5" strips. Cut them
each in half or smaller pieces and lay them in a design. Attach to an A2 card in Basic White, Smoky
Slate or Night of Navy. Embellish with sentiment, ribbon, or bling.
THREE (3) card fronts can be made out of the 2x12”
piece. Cut it into 3 sections of
4x2, or smaller. Add to the front of a card, add
a large sentiment or die cut to complete.
The smaller strips are also good for using extra pieces (scraps) from your variety of Designer papers, often called Strip Cards.
To make a pattern for a 12x12 One Sheet Wonder, use the 12x12 white heavy cardstock packaging that comes with most of our Designer Series Papers. Draw and score the sizes and pattern, then keep it with your 12x12 papers. If cutting your DSP down to 6x6 pieces is one of your plans, try saving at least 2 in the full size to cut like this or to use in a project that requires a 12x12.
I'd love to see what you choose to put together for your version of this card. Post yours at Card Connoisseur on Face Book or send me an email. Note that this blog address spells CardConnoissuer a little differently that the word is spelled on the Face Book Page.
Thanks for stopping by. Keep sharing what you love with others, as we "cheer up the world, one card at a time"! Be blessed! Sb
