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!

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.

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!

    First is the Sweetest Christmas fun fold cards:  

    This kit includes 10 cards and $20 in products so you can make even more with the leftover designer paper, ribbon and adhesive backed sequins.

    It's $25 & includes the following: 

    • 10 pre-cut cards – all pieces are pre-cut, die-cut or punched (except your new designer paper)
    • 1/2 pkg of the Sweetest Christmas DSP (6 X 12")
    • a share of Garden Green ribbon and Adhesive-Backed sequins

    The other option is my Christmas Stamp a Stack card kit.  

    This kit includes 12 pre-cut cards – 3 each of these 4 cards.  Everything is cut or punched for you.  Nothing is stamped but you can use any stamp set you want to finish them. 

    I used the following inks:  Soft Succulent, Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green, Pool Party, Night of Navy, Versamark & silver embossing, Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade.

  • Snowman Magic WOW card; amazing work by Candace!


    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds!  I know you're going to love seeing their wonderful creations. 

    Today I'm sharing two cards featuring the Santa Express designer paper. This first is made by Candace. She used the Snowman Magic bundle seen here in the 2022 Holiday Catalog.  

    Amazing, right?!  

    It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 envelope.  

    I'm going to do my best to provide the correct card stock measurements for this:  

    • Shaded Spruce 2 pieces at 4" X 6" score on the long sides at 2" & 5 1/2"; turn and score on the short side at 2".  Cut up to the score lines and trim off the extra 1/2" strip.  
    • inside pieces are 1" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" from both ends.  The scored ends are folded and adhered to the outer edges of the box inside. 

    She used 1/4" strips of Window Sheets to hold up the snowflakes and holly.  The snowmen, trees and bunny are adhered to the box and inside strips.  It's so darn cute! 

    All of these elements are in the Snowman Magic bundle! 

    Next is another incredible card made by Brenda; she chose to use the Santa Express designer paper also and added the coordinating Santa's Delivery bundle to hers.

    It's a side-step fun fold card.  She chose to use Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz for her card base & layers.  I love the jumping penguins and that smoke stack!  

    Here are the measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 6" scored in half at 4 1/4".  Then make a mark at the 1" and at 6 3/8" at the 3" mark across.  
    • Now you'll cut from those marks down the center of the card.  
    • Next score up to the cut line at 1", 2", 3 1/4" and 6 3/8" 

    She cut the trains from the Santa Express designer paper using the Santa's Train dies; which coordinate perfectly.  The cute penguins & smoke are stamped, colored & die-cut.  They're added with 1/4" strips of Window sheets so they pop up and flutter when opened.  Just adorable!  

    See the Santa's Train bundle here and the Santa Express DSP here. 

    Remember some of these items can sell out before the catalog ends.  Already we are out of the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.

    First is a group of cards made with the Hues of Happiness designer paper; filled with bright colors, florals and washed backgrounds.  See it here.  

     

    Next is one of my favorite cards featuring the Nature's Prints stamp set & Natural Prints dies.  *The pretty dotted border is from the Blossoming Happiness dies.  


    This next card is one I made for a big card swap.  It features the Pretty Pop-Ups dies seen here.  Love that they're reduced from $32 to $25.60.

    This pretty card features the Flowers of Home bundle – it's a better deal to order the Blessings of Home stamp set and Flowers of Home dies separately during this sale.  You'll save over $5.
