Have you heard of a One Sheet Wonder template? I have seen them for a 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper to make a lot of cards.... but this week I found a template for a 6 x 6 sheet... (thanks to Meg Daves- I Teach Stamping) I don't have much 12 x 12 paper, but PLENTY of 6 x 6 pads!
I need to kick start my Christmas card making and thought that this would be a great way to get some done.
Usually I use A4 card stock (8.25" X 11.75") cut in half for my bases not US size which you need for these cards using the template. Luckily I had two sheets of Hero Arts card (8.5" x 11") and could use the A4 Kraft card to cut the mats - which were 4" x 5.25". The main 6 x 6 PP was from the Christmas This & That by Echo Park paper pack. I used a piece of American Crafts red card for my punched edges and layering mats. The Santa images were from A Vintage Christmas pack by Meg's Garden. The oval and rectangle with the stamped sentiments (A Kaisercraft stamp set) were scraps from cutting the mats. So a very economic way to make some quick cards.
I added a strip of embossing to the top of one of the cards, some ribbon on the Santa ones and some bakers twine on the other two.
And while I had my PP out I made a few more Christmas cards
The paper for this one is from Turtle Dove pack by Kaisercraft. I added a sentiment from a Catherine Pooler stamp and added a shimmery die cut in the corner.
If you've managed to get to here.... thanks very much for hanging in there. I do appreciate your visits. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Chris, these are all beautiful!
fantastic way to get those chritstmas cards done - all such pretty cards!!
Such lovely cards Dawn and you've inspired me to pull out some of my enormous stash of patterned paper that I so rarely actually use!
Such a clever way to create all of these beautiful cards, Dawn! I love your choice of papers and holiday elements that you chose for them, too!
Oh wow--what beautiful cards, Dawn!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!!!! I, too, have a gazillion 6x6 paper pads, and need to really get a jump start on Christmas cards (my goal was to make 10 a month starting in January, ya, well, maybe I'll make that happen next year!). I love and appreciate it so much when clever and talented papercrafters share their ideas and projects. Your cards turned out simply gorgeous! I love the paper pad you used! I wish I had that one, too!
Thanks again, -Stacy
