The One Sheet Wonder is one of my favorite ways to get the most out of a single sheet of 12×12 designer paper — one sheet, cut strategically, becomes 11 different handmade cards! I used the Eastern Palace Suite for this set, but the technique works with any 12×12 paper you have on hand. Here’s the cutting pattern, followed by all 11 cards I created from it.

How I created this first card
- Cut piece 1 from your One Sheet Wonder gold paper (using the template above).
- Attach it to the upper right corner of a Very Vanilla horizontal card base.
- Layer the medallion. Stick a gold vinyl sticker onto Blue Denim cardstock, then cut it out using the matching thinlit die to create the medallion shape.
- Add dimension. Tuck a bit of gold thread behind the medallion before attaching it, for a little extra visual interest.
