Oversized Cards & One Page Wonder Album using Happenstance

 Have you seen the Happenstance collection?  This collection is bright and cheery.  I decided to create a couple oversized cards using some new dies.  I also created vellum envelope and decorated it with a fun butterfly die.  

I also wanted to try my created hand at creating a One Page wonder using one sheet of 12x12 paper.  

Here is the first oversized card it measures 8.5x9.  I stacked 2 of the same oversized shaped dies and glued them at an angle.  I added foam behind the die cuts to give them dimension.  I distress paint the chipboard frame and then embossed it with an antique silver.  I used several die cuts including flowers from my stash that matched perfectly with this collection.  I added leaf die cuts,  buttons and also an ephemera die cut from the collection.

With one of my oversized new dies I used it to cut out a vellum envelope and also cut out the back with Happenstance paper to layer the inside of the envelope.  Vellum is such a fun way to add interest to any project!  I used one of my favorite butterfly dies to decorate the front of the envelope.  I used foil and foam to add the layers plus Happenstance paper.  With all my fun layers I love to add tulle and lace trim for a soft touch to my projects!  

I was able to dig into my stash to use some flowers and die cuts to complete my project.

Here is my One Page Wonder using a 12x12 sheet of paper.  I had so much fun creating this mini album/journal.  I added layers of die cuts,  tags,  buttons,  tulle and Ephemera.  This tiny album/journal measures 4x6 which is small for my usual projects.  I'm a go big or go home kind of gal!  

I added a corner piece die,  made a pocket to hold some tags.  The next page I added a flip up opening where you will have more room to journal or add pictures.  Lots of die cuts and flat layers.

I added a big pocket and layered with Ephemera pieces and a paperclip.  The next page has 2 spots of tucking in tags,  journaling or photos.

 

 Once you open up the page there is a place for more journaling,  it flips open with top and bottom.

The inside of the right page I created an envelope with a flip to tuck in more journaling tags or photos and the page is a large pocket for another place for journaling tags or photos.

 

 

Here's a close up of the flip out,  I'm not sure what that's called,  lol!  

I'm planning on creating another One Page Wonder using a 12x12 sheet soon but possibly a taller version!  

I hope you have a chance to create with this fun and beautiful collection!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!!!
