In an attempt to give you helpful tools to stretch what you have on hand, I am going to start a new series. Once a month, I will feature a One Sheet Wonder template to help us all use up that Designer Series Paper we collect! DSP is a funny thing. We love how pretty it is so much, that we never want to chop it up, always saving those beautiful, favorite sheets for just the right time. Well, this is your cue! It is time to chop it and share the beauty with many!!
My first template is working with a 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP. Today, I actually cut a 12″ x 12″ into 6 x 6, giving me four times the amount of cards from the one 12″ x 12″ piece. I choose a sheet from the soon to be released Cute As A Bug DSP package.
I paired the first cuts from the template with Real Red to accent the berries in the paper.

The fourth card pulls the Old Olive out of the DSP by using it as the matts and the card base. I must say, out of all the color backers, this is my least favorite.
