Earlier this year Shannon West shared 'Double Wonder cards' with demos in the United States. Basically, this is a cutting plan to make 11 cards from 2 half sheets of 12" square paper (6" X 12"). For years we've circulated cutting plans for 'One Sheet Wonder' cards, and this cutting plan, inspired by Shannon's Double Wonder Card, uses 2 pieces of 6" X 6" DSP to make six quick, easy, fun cards.
In addition to 6 card bases which suit your DSP, you will need 4 pieces measuring 8.1cm X 11.5cm. They can be white or a colour. You will also need 6 labels with sentiments, perhaps some ribbon twine and embellishments.
Take your two sheets of DSP and with one on top of the other, cut 3 strips 3.5cm wide and the length of the paper. They need to be cut in half at the midway point, 7.6cm. Six inches is just over 15cm. Each card uses three pieces, and I suggest spacing the two outer ones first, so that you can centre the 3rd one. These are attached to the 8.1cm x11.5cm card. There are many ways to arrange these.
You are left with 2 pieces 5cm wide. These are perfect for a card as is, but here is an alternative. Cut these strips at 7.6cm also. Now you can mix and match these to your heart's delight. They can be spaced close together, have a contrast strip between, a slim gap between and a strip at the top or bottom, the ideas are endless.
