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.

Save

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!

More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!

October 16, 2025
Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

Save

She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

Save

Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

Save

Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

Save

She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

Stay tuned; I’ll share more swaps tomorrow!

Modern Christmas card idea

October 15, 2025
Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

Save

Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

Save

I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

Save

I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene

October 14, 2025
Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

Save

My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.

It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

Save

This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

Save

I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on this link to access it.
