Birthday One-Sheet-Wonders

These 10 cards were based around one sheet of Stampin' Up!'s Ginger Blossom designer paper. Because birthday cards are the most popular cards at my stamp camps, I think I may do a OSW class with these cards. At the bottom of this post is the graphic showing the measurements that I used for the designer paper for these cards. Two of the cards used two slips of designer paper, rather than just one (they show on the template at the bottom of this post in different colors). The designer paper is fun for OSW cards because you're not just stuck with one choice of patterned paper as a focal point and instead can use either the front OR the back for different looks.
