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.

  • Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

    Today is the last of the pretty monochromatic cards my Flowerbug's gals made for our January swap.  The theme was a challenge for some but others found it easy.  Have you made a monochromatic card before?  If not try it! 

    This first card was made by Tracey using the Meadow dies in Blushing Bride & White.

    There are so many beautiful details! 

    • All of these flowers, butterfly & greeting dies are from the Meadow dies seen here.  They're cut from White, Bushing Bride & Vellum CS
    • The texture is from the Bark 3D embossing folder seen here.  
    • She sponged on one of the die-cuts and the textured piece too. 
    • The greeting is heat embossed using White embossing powder

     

    Next is a card made by Ginny using the Color & Contour bundle seen here.  She chose to use the In Color Pale Papaya.

    The designer paper is from our 6 X 6" In Color assorted DSP pack seen here.  Did you know we have patterned paper in each of our Stampin' Up! colors!  I love how easy it is to coordinate our products with our color line.  It just makes me happy! 

     

    Next is a card Candace made using the new Sale-a-Bration free bundle called Friendly Hello seen here.  

    Jan Candace Friendly Hello Save

    Here are the details:

    • Her colors are Blushing Bride & Flirty Flamingo. She stamped her flowers on both the greeting circle and the Blushing Bride card base.  
    • She used the Basic Border dies to trim off the front edge for a stitched detail. 
    • The striped DSP is on the inside of the card.  It's from the Host Pattern Party DSP
    • She textured the larger circle with the new Gingham embossing folder.  
    • The ribbon is our new Frayed White ribbon in the Jan-June catalog. 

    I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented Flowerbug's Team swaps this month.  I love seeing their style & what they create for our optional swaps.

  • 3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

    Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!  

    This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello.  I love both the stamps and the DSP.  The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching! 

    FRIENDLY HELLO BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

    Friendly Hello & Tropical Layers Save

    This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

    Details:

    • The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die. 
    • That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.  
    • The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set. 

    Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.  

    Jan Friendly Hello Ginny Save

    She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece.  She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.  

    Lastly today is another card I made for a swap.  I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso.  I've always loved these colors together.  I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!  

    Friendly Hello & Tropical Layers Save

    I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner.  I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.  

    Thanks so much for stopping in to see my projects today!  If you want to get this pretty pack of Designer Paper & the Friendly Hello stamp set click here to see it.  It's free with any $100 purchase right now!
