How To Use The 10 Card Wonder Technique

Learn the 10 Card Wonder technique with Peg from Peg's Crafting Corner and then make 10 cards.

Step 1
Begin by choosing 5 8 1/2" x 11" pieces of cardstock to use for you card bases.
Step 2
Using a paper trimmer, cut each of those pieces in half so that you will have ten cards that measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Step 3
Score each of them in half using the scoring board.
Step 4
Now, cut a piece of patterned paper to measure 8 1/2" x 11".
Step 5
Print the template out using a program like Publisher, but make sure that your margins in your computer program are all set to .25” and that you drag the boundary lines (the black lines on the edges of the Wonder Template) to the edges of the 8 1/2" x 11" paper that shows in your program. If you have a printer that allows you to copy the template and print it on the patterned paper you can do that, too. You can, also, use this sheet as a guide and draw the sheet onto the back of the patterned paper using a ruler and a pencil.
Step 6
This is what it should look like once you have transferred the 10 Card Template onto the patterned paper.
Step 7
Now, cut each piece apart.
Step 8
You will now have the bases and all of the pieces to create 10 cards. You may decide not to use all of the pieces and that is okay.
Step 9
Play around with all of the pieces mixing and matching them until you have the patterns that you like.
Step 10
You now have the cards ready to decorate as you need them.
