If you like to make a whole lotta cards at once and want to maximize the use of your resources, you are going to love this one sheet wonder template that can help you make a whole batch of cards!
Years ago, someone coined the term “One Sheet Wonder” which is essentially where you take one sheet of cardstock or patterned paper and cut it into specific shapes and sizes to give you many components that you can then use on a number of different cards. I love using a one sheet wonder template with all kinds of papers and because I usually use mostly the same components on all the cards – like greetings, trim, other stamps – I really CAN make a whole batch of cards in no time.
Here's a peek at one of the cards I made using today's one sheet wonder template:
Isn't that pretty? And SO easy! This one sheet wonder template makes four cards and here are all of them:
You can see how I used all the same supplies on the cards but they are all just a leeeetle bit different from each other thanks to the one sheet wonder template I used.
I created the template and then though that you might like to see it “in action”. So first, here's the one sheet wonder template I created and used:

I kept the measurements as basic as I could and I think that's why this is one I come back to over and over; it's super easy to cut and then you can make four cards, all a little different and all equally gorgeous!
Here's the video where I show you how to pull them all together:

Easy peasy – my favorite kind of stamping! Now that you've seen how easy it is to make a batch of cards with this technique, go ahead and try out using this one sheet wonder template and your favorite goodies and have fun!
Love seeing how to make multiple cards at a time.
Thank you for having such clear instructions.

Hi Megan,
This is the most beautiful One-Sheet-Wonder template.
I used it to make 150 Birthday and Thank you cards and grouped them in 3 as gifts for Christmas. I even worked with (for me) unusual color combinations. Thank you for the inspiration, <3 and have a very merry Christmas time!

This is just what I needed to use up some of my 6×6 packs that have retired. Your ideas really help get the creative juices flowing. Thank Meg!
You are so welcome Peg!!!
Love these cards, quick, simple yet pretty. Thanks for this video, would love more ideas like this. Great blog, by the way.
Thank you so much Jacky! Be sure to stop by often 🙂
Going to have to give this a try. Lovely.
Enjoy Barbara!!! It’s a fun one!
Wow! I can picture using this idea to make Christmas cards. Simple and easy, but eye-catching and beautiful! Thank you!
Hi Judy! So happy you liked this one – it is perfect for Christmas cards too!
Thanks so much for the template. I’m trying to use some paper that I wasn’t too fond of last Christmas for this year’s cards. They have turned out great! It made me look at my paper stash differently. I am 8 cards ahead already. Thanks again!
Awesome Suzanne!!! Thank you so much for your comment!
I just love your videos and it is so helpful that you send reminders. I’m faced with Christmas coming and lots of cards to make and little time and zero inspiration. I’m going to try this method with a paper stack that I’ve purchased! Thanks again
Thanks Cindy! Watch for a post coming soon on Batch Cards and how I make the best use of my time and STUFF to make a ton of cards at once.

Love your bow maker; Ordered one and used it several times, then we moved and I seem to have lost it. 🙁

I’m always on the lookout for more one sheet wonder patterns.
Very well done. Nice instruction and creation. Thanks for sharing
Where can I find the bow maker you used in this video? My sister lost her thumb in a work related accident & has great difficulty making the little bows, this would really help her. ?
Rita, you can order them at 10secondbowmaker.com. I hope this tool will solve her bow tying problems!!
You can find it at 10secondbowmaker.com! Thanks for asking!
