Thanks, azcrafty , for posting this. I was itching to make some cards so this will be fun. ETA: I really like this month's sheetload. Have you done this design? |

I got a bit hung up on how much I WANT those papers she used because I have that exact stamp set and have barely used it! I love the pink and cactus green. But even if I could find the paper pad (I couldn’t, I looked) I wouldn’t buy it just for those papers (probably, lol). Anyway, once I get over that I will stamp and cut a bunch of little cactuses and find some paper that works. And then I’ll probably try the design with another stamp set or with some die cuts.
I just need to get back to cardmaking... I took a little break...

Well I "went down a rabbit hole" as they say and subscribed to her channel so I could print off all her "Sheet Load" pdfs. As the world's most uncreative, unoriginal card maker, I found her pdfs and tutorials very helpful.
Thanks for the links.
Does anyone know of any other card makers that share printable templates like hers?

Restless Spirit - try googling "one sheet wonder" - you'll find lots of templates. Some of them are too simple for my taste, but others are just right for me. I like to use the OSW templates when I make a set of all-occasion cards to give as a gift.

I'm finishing up some birthday gifts and hopefully I can start on this soon. I need to make a sets of thank you cards for my BILs birthday. I think this would work well for that. I will post my cards when I'm done. Would love to see your cards. |

I have everything cut and know what I want to do, but I think I'll wait and put them together Sat. night while I scrap with Peas on Hangouts. Then I don't have to keep getting up and down to reach tools. I can have everything ready and just work. I am anxious to see what you do. |

I was planning to make mine this weekend too, but DH surprised me with a mountain getaway. He wanted to get out of the heat (116F). So I'm looking forward to cool off and enjoy the outdoors. |

Thanks for the card challenge! Hope your getaway was cool and relaxing. Here is my July sheetload. Love your cards and the butterflies are generally nice touch. Are those stamped and die cut? Thank you I had a nice weekend it was in the 80s with a nice thunder storm. It was nice to see some rain finally. |

It was nice to see some rain finally. Yes, the butterflies are stamped and then I have a punch. (Stampin' Up). I'm glad to see your perspective on nice weather. I do enjoy a thunderstorm when I'm safe in the house, or a soft, grey gentle rain. We could use some rain. The other day it rained two miles from here and my part of town totally missed it. |

jjpeapea, your cards are really pretty. I love the stamped butterfly. Great sentiments. Here are mine. After posting I noticed that the one on the left didn't get the gold behind the sentiment. I fixed it but didn't take another photo. I think these are so much fun.  Thinking of You Today

nylene your cards are lovely. The little flowerpot it's sooo cute. Is that a die? The pot is a Doodlebug cut file. It takes 4 pieces to make the pot and 3 to make the bush. It's a lot of sitting while putting them together, but I love paper piecing so it's ok. I cut each piece on my Silhouette. |

Smart way to use the paper justjac. I haven't been on a cruise either, but I'm sure someone will love these. |

Well I "went down a rabbit hole" as they say and subscribed to her channel so I could print off all her "Sheet Load" pdfs. As the world's most uncreative, unoriginal card maker, I found her pdfs and tutorials very helpful. Thanks for the links. Does anyone know of any other card makers that share printable templates like hers? If you’re interested in following sketches you should also check out kristiemarcotte.com - her whole thing is using sketches to burn through tons of paper. They’re not quite a convenient as the sheetloads but she has a couple of videos showing her approach (6x6 paper pad tutorial) and then she has lots of blog posts showing the sketches she used to make a big pile of cards. |

joblackford, thanks for the info. gramma also suggested her. I have watched one, but want to see some others. I'm afraid I have gone down a "rabbit hole" too. I am really enjoying making cards.

I loved this month's SheetLoad design! I made two batches of cards using it. The first batch was all-occasion cards I created using some retired Close to My Heart paper. The second batch was holiday cards made using papers from the Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland paper pack.   I've actually made 128 holiday cards already for this year, most made using various SheetLoad templates. I posted photos of all of them on my blog today. If anyone is interested in seeing them, here's the link: Christmas in July. |

Wow, CoffeeCrafter, you have been a busy bee! I love your Hello cards with the cute string nests. The Christmas cards are very pretty and I love the oval sentiment piece with the scalloped backing. So very pretty. I have just discovered Sheetload because of azcrafty, and I have loved making them. I think I will use one of the designs for my Christmas cards this year. |
