More Betsy's Blossoms - One Sheet Wonder

Another post about the lovely Betsy's Blossoms stamp set, and I just wanted to show you my first ever attempt at a one-sheet wonder project!  If you don't know what I mean by one-sheet wonder, it's basically a technique of stamping a sheet of paper to get a lovely pattern, cutting it up and using the pieces to create several co-ordinating cards.  You can do the same thing with a sheet of Designer Series paper.

I took a 12x12 sheet of Whisper White card stock and stamped all over with the Betsy's Blossoms leaves and flowers. 

I used a template from the Internet to use as a cutting pattern and then chopped it up according to the measurments given.

I made a total of 8 cards with the pieces, adding in ribbon, sentiments and other embellishments to vary the designs of each card.  For some reason I only have photos of 6 of the cards I made!

It's a really fun technique to try and a great way of using all the different stamps in a set. 

Betsy's Blossoms

Last autumn I created lots of projects for our quarterly team training day to display on my Inspiration Station.  I was asked to showcase the Floral District designer series papers and the Betsy's Blossoms stamp set.

This remains one of my all-time favourite stamp sets as it can be used in lots of ways to make very different styles of card for any occasion!

Scroll down to see pictures of some of the cards I made....

Floral District Inspiration Station

Last October I was asked by Julie Kettlewell to create an Inspiration Station to display at our quarterly training day.  She asked me to showcase the Floral District Designer papers and fabrics and Betsy's Blossoms stamp set.  I spent a couple of weeks making lots of projects as I really wanted to make the most of these products, try new techniques and really push myself to make a really inspirational display.  I had lots of help from my friend and upline Alex Spence who made the gorgrous 3D cards and kept me company over several intensive crafting sessions!

Here is the full display - thanks to Alex for the use of her wine boxes which I have borrowed many times since!

The fabric bags I made using a pattern from the internet - even with my basic sewing machine skills I managed to knock up these two in about an hour by follwing a YouTube video!

These owls were made using a pattern I found online and look great with the Floral District fabric and some scraps of trouser fabric I found.

This butterfly canvas is so quick and easy to make with the Elegant Butterfly punch. 

I cut leaves out of the Floral District papers using the Autumn accents die and hot-glued them onto brances to make a lovely paper tree!

I take this rosette wreath with me to all my events and it always attracts lots of comments!
