Quadrangle Cards Technique; a great use of your 6 X 6″ Designer Paper!

Check out this great template where you cut a 6 X 6" piece of Designer Paper into 4 pieces for 4 cards.  I also layered it with a 6 1/2" piece of card stock for easy borders!  Look!

August 24th 4 cards Save

I created the above cards with a sheet of the beautiful Plaid Tidings 6" DSP from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I also used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle and the two Daisy punches in the annual catalog.  Super easy cards! 

The colors are Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White.  

Then I used a different sheet of the Plaid Tidings DSP on Facebook Live last week.  I LOVE Black & White with a pop of color so I added Magenta Madness and used the Zany Zebras stamp set seen here.

Aren't they fun?!  I wasn't sure if I wanted to add any pink to the zebras but I ended up loving it! I colored just a bit on the zebras with the Magenta Madness Blends marker.   

If you're wondering just where this stamp set is, you can find it in the Beginner's Brochure or click here to see it online. 

Below is my template for the Designer Paper.

Next you'll see how you can place the DSP pieces onto a piece of 6 1/2" square piece of card stock and get nice layers. 

You can see how I did it in the video below.  Remember I host 6 FB Live's a week.  Every Tuesday at 11 am CT and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm.  Check them out here.   Just click on 'more' and then 'videos'.

Tip: If you have trouble measuring things I suggest that once you have a template for both the Designer Paper and the layered card stock piece you save one to reuse over and over again.

  • Merry, Bold & Bright card kit to go; for both Christmas & Birthdays!

    I chose the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper for one of my card kits this month because it's filled with fun, bright & colorful designs that can be used for  Christmas, Birthdays or other celebrations.  They're my theme for these colorful cards I created this month.
