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

September 4, 2020

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!

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.

Save

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.

Save

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'.

Save

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.

I hope you like these cards! Be sure to watch the video below to catch the tips & tricks on using this template.

Here's the FB Live replay for you. Enjoy!

2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!

November 24, 2022
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.

~~~

Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.

Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.

Save
Measurements are:
- Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
- DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
- Evergreen layer 4" square
Save

Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card. She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here.

Save

Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.

Measurements:
- Card base 5" X 10". Score at 2 1/2" & 5". You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark. From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners.
- Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark. Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners.
- Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
- Designer paper squares are 3"
Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!

Save

I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I? They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints

November 23, 2022
Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you. Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members.

First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

Save
- She used Night of Navy as her card base. It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2".
- The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.
- I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing. It's also 2" X 5 1/4"
It stands up nicely too. Here's what it looks like closed for mailing.

Save

The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.

~~~

Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch.

Save

Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel? It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card!

She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.

Save

The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog. I love that snow hill curve!

Save

Measurements:
- White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".
- Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line. That separates the sides from the front panel.
- DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.
Save
Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.
