The One Layer Wednesday Challenge is hosted by Susan this week. She linked us to a site called Cake Wrecks; Sunday Treats for Mom. I chose these cookies for inspiration.
I saw a techinque on my friend Vicky's site, Crafting Clare's paper moments, this morning that really helped with these tees. They were on a jumbo wheel and I never could get them to stamp the way I wanted them to. Vicky "whacked" her In Stitches wheel (from the Occasions Mini) to make separate stamps. This technique worked beautifully for these little tees and I'm sure I will use them a lot more now. It's a great bargain too. I got 5 stamps from an $8.50 wheel!
Vicky gives step by step instructions for "whacking" the wheels. I was in too much of a hurry to take pictures along the way, so you really need to go to her blog to see the how to. While you're there, take a look around. She has a wonderful style and I'm never disappointed when I visit her. I got the idea for piercing the clothesline and hanging chains from Vicky too. A big thanks Vicky!
Edited to add: After stamping the letters with Whisper White, I heat embossed with Clear EP. I punched a 1 1/4" & 1" hole in some scrap paper to use as a mask and sponged the color around the letters.
I think I'll take this over to the Less is More challenge too since it's an embossed, one layer card.

Actually, I think I would like it better without the onsies. But once I started with them, there was no going back.
Here's another one that I salvaged. I laid the stamps on the card to see about placement and they evidently had some ink on them. They left some smudges and dots behind. So I stamped again on some Decorative Paper, cut them out and glued them over the smudges. I'm not sure that paper piecing is allowed on One Layer Cards.

Wow! Thank you so much for your lovely comments Bonnie - you're making me feel quite bashful! By the way, I love your phrase 'whacking a wheel'!
I can see the onsies make great separate stamps too and I love what you've done with them here. The paper-pieced ones are fab. Vx
Hi Fabby cards ....very nice

Oh, so very cute. I love the onesies. Disassembling that wheel sounds as if it really did the job for you. Just an adorable baby card, Bonnie!
These are super sweet, Bonnie!
These are too too cute for words!!!
Bonnie - these are just great. I love the baby outfits on this jumbo wheel and you've used them really well. As soon as I saw your card - I knew which was your inspiration piece!!
Very cute cards :-)fab images and the colours are lovely :-)
luv
Lols x x x
Cute colourful card Bonnnie
paper piercing isn't allowed I'm afraid, cos it then makes for two layers! lol
But you are of course forgiven, we won't look ha ha
Thank you so much

Less is More
Fab card and I think it would still be fab even without the onesies too!

Love your paper pieced card Bonnie... I love onesies as you call them on your side of the pond... I think we call them all-in-ones... I'd think I'd rather have onesies!
Thanks so much... you're such a loyal LIMette!

Love both of them. Great take on the challenge.
Gorgeous card Bonnie. Hugs Rita xx
I love both of your cards. The colors are wonderful, and I love those onesies. Thanks for sharing the "whack the wheel" idea. I have many of them and I never ever use them. I am going to try that!
Bonnie, this is just too cute! Both cards are fab...but I think I really like the way the paper pieced one turned out...and it was a SAVE!! Fabulous cards!
These are really cute. Great idea to cut up your wheel they look fab on their own so to speak. x
Love the colours Bonnie and great idea to adapt your wheel stamp. Those onesie's are so cute and have made a great card :)

What a sweet baby card, Bonnie!! Love the little onesies and how you used the piercing as their "line" to hang on...love the colors, too...very nice:)!!
Oh Bonnie, these are so cute! And great save on the smudged card...piecing serves its purpose, doesn't it!
