Have you ever looked at a pretty piece of patterned paper and felt stuck about how to use it?
Today I’m sharing a one sheet wonder card making tutorial that shows you how to take ONE sheet of 12×12 patterned paper and turn it into a whole stack of handmade cards!
Turn One Sheet of Patterned Paper Into a Stack of Cards
This cutting layout was originally featured in a Stampin’ Up! catalog, and while the instructions were helpful, they weren’t quite how my brain works when I’m cutting paper. After designing one sheet wonder templates for over 10 years, I translated this layout into a format that’s easier and more intuitive for me to use.
Be sure to watch the video below for the full step-by-step process.

In the video, I walk you through:
- How to choose the right patterned paper
- How I prefer to cut and organize the pieces
- How to turn every single piece into a finished card

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope this project inspires you to grab a piece of patterned paper and turn it into a stack of cards you’ll be excited to send.
Happy Stamping!

I’ve recently broken two (2!) cutting boards and I would like some idea of what I should purchase to replace them. I’m thinking of getting a “guiletine” type. Do you have recommendations? What do you use?
Hi Elizabeth, I use Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Trimmer: https://www.stampinup.com/products/paper-trimmer?demoid=20086 and love it. Personally I’m not a fan of the guillotine style cutter. I do also have a very old rotary cutter that I like but the older it gets the less precise my cuts are. Thanks for asking!
Hi, Love the inspirational template. For someone who is slow in ideals. Thanks for sharing. I love the card with (expressing heartfelt gratitude) Is the stamp from Stampin Up?
