SheetLoad of Cards | Sept.Oct.Nov 2023

September, October, and now November were super busy for us! Today I decided that I really needed a fun project to work on — so I printed the PDFs for three months of SheetLoad of Cards. Watch to see how three months of cards turned out!

September 2023 SheetLoad

I have to admit, I was not crazy about this month’s 5×7 card. But I learned that it very complicated to make since it’s a 7×10 piece of cardstock folded in half. You can only get one of them from a 8.5×11 sheet but it’s actually a nice size. And when you use fun paper from your stash, it really comes together quickly. This is the first time that I made only one card from the design and I like how it turned out.

Pulled scraps from my Christmas 12×12 paper.
5×7 is not so bad, it’s a very cute design after all.
I used the dimensions for making just one card. PDF steps are very easy to follow.
Used Gina K Designs Christmas Wreath stamp set. Love this set!

October 2023 SheetLoad

Okay, back to A2 size in October. Although it looks complicated, this one went together very quickly. Used some old Stampin’ Up Christmas paper and decided to use the stocking side for all the background pieces because the stockings were too small for the squares on top. Love how they turned out.

Pulled Stampin’ Up Christmas paper from a couple of years ago.
Cut the paper and glued them together.
Crafty Al has special instructions for cutting the top squares in the PDF.
Used a die from Quickutz (that I bought on sale from Archivers years ago).
Love how the sentiment turned out using this 2″ square die.

And finally, I am caught up with November’s design. This used 4 6×6 sheets so I had some fun with this PhotoPlay gnome paper pad from 2020. I love it when I can use stuff from my stash! I didn’t like the look of the diagonal design of this card at first, but it really grew on me. And adding the gnome stamp that I cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut was icing on the cake! Just too cute!

Pulled paper from a PhotoPlay 6×6 Paper Pad.
Cut my paper, this had a tricky diagonal cut of the rectangular piece.
Used a stamp set from Stampendous called Cocoa Gnome.
Colored w/Stampin’ Up Blends – Sweet Sorbet, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Blueberry Bushel, Mossy Meadow, and Daffodil Delight.
Love how these turned out with the paper cut on the diagonal.
I added a blue polka dot instead of red on the blue card. Looks cute!!
