OSW + Simply Scrappin’ Kit – 16 cards

I have been wanting to do a OSW (One Sheet Wonder) with a Simply Scrappin' Kit for a long time – and today was the day.  Actually my hubby went to a car swap meet for overnight, so I was really going to get a LOT done – alone!!  In fact, I was lonesome and couldn't concentrate on anything until he came home at 7:00 p.m. tonight – then I headed for my craft room and did these 16 cards!! 

Here they all are together.  I will share closer pictures below.

I used the Happy B-Day Simply Scrappin' Kit (115695, page 166).  The colors card Ruby Red, Brocade Blue, Certainly Celery and Crushed Curry.  Very bright and cheery.

I cut up the textured card stock (8 sheets with two each of the above colors) for the card bases.  I then used the left-over card stock for framing and decorations.  I used one piece of the designer print paper for the OSW template.  I also used some of the other sheets to add to the bases for decoration.  I still have three full sheets of designer print paper and lots of the stickers left for scrapbooking pages!! 

I added a few sentiments with my favorite sentiment set Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370, page 145), and some matching ribbon and brads and buttons.  But mostly I used the sticky die cuts that come with the Simply Scrappin' Kit. 

I wish to thank Mae Collins, a Tasmanian demonstrator, for the inspiration and her template.   Since she made her template in centimeters, and I'm NOT good at converting, I followed her examples with various changes to fit inches :)  I would like to thank Mae for her inspiration!!

This was fun and fairly quick!!  I think it took me about three hours from start to finish!
