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!

CUTE Halloween cards

September 23, 2021
Our monthly Team swap was last Saturday and our theme was Halloween or Fall cards. Here are two of them I'm happy to share with you.

This first card was made by Lori. She is featuring the Cute Halloween designer paper and the Picture This dies.

Save

The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here. This punch is on back order until October 11th. But you CAN still order it.

I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here. And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors.

Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set. See it here.

Save

That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:
- Double Oval punch
- Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
- Parisian Flourish 3D folder
I can see this stamp set be used all year. These cats are hilarious and so true to life!

You might notice the pretty Dazzling leaf die-cuts here. That is from the Sunflower dies and the Be Dazzling specialty paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. Sadly it is out of stock now.

Think of the many stamps you own that you could create a pretty background with. Simply add a greeting tag over it.
