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.

  • More fabulous Flowerbug’s Christmas cards

    I shared some of my Team Christmas card swaps yesterday here.  And today there's more beauties; all made with stamps from the 2021 Holiday Stampin' Up! catalog.

    this first card was made by Candy using the Reflected in Nature stamp set & Welcoming Woods.  I LOVE her colors of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White & Smoky Slate.  A gorgeous card!

    Next is a super neat fun-fold window card made by Candace.  She used the Penguin Place bundle in Navy, Coastal Cabana, White & Black. The penguins are extra special punched from Black glimmer paper.

    At first glance it looks like a regular card front.  But wait…. look!

    Oct Candy Reflected in Nature Save

    She cut a window on the front using our Stitched Rectangle dies revealing the cute penguin layer inside.  They're actually attached to a second card base inside that flips down. 

    She used the Whimsy dies to add a stitched border to each inside layer. Love this detail.

    Isn't it cool?!  

    Measurements:

    • Navy card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Coastal Cabana inside card base 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
    • White pieces 4 3/8" X 2 7/8", Navy layer is also 4 3/8" X 2 7/8" inside

    Barb made this unique card using the Be Jolly stamp set.  Her colors are Misty Moonlight, Red & White.  

    Oct Candy Reflected in Nature Save

    She heat embossed the stars on the front layer with White embossing powder. She also sponged the edge.  She used our Layering Circle dies for her Santa.  But look how it flips open to reveal a greeting!

    Oct Candy Reflected in Nature Save

    Such a fun surprise and it's just a 1/2" flap hidden under the front layers.  So smart! 

    Here's the inside view:

  • Christmas card swaps!

    I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

    Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

    Oct Evergreen Marilyn Save

    Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
    • Hippo & Basic Border dies
    • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
    • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
    • Soft Succulent ribbon

    And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder!

    Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

    Oct Evergreen Marilyn Save

    Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

    It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.  

    Oct Evergreen Marilyn Save

    The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.
