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!

  • Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


    I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

    ~~~

    Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

    I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

    I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

    I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

    I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

    Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

    Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

    I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

    Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


    Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

  • Sending Cheer Diamond Flap card – free project sheet & video


    We made this adorable cards at my November card clubs.  They could choose between Christmas & birthday. I love it when products are this versatile!

    The Sending Cheer stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance list now and both are reduced in price!  Originally this bundle was $53 but now it's just $38.40! The stamp set is $14.40 and the dies are $21; they do have to be purchased separately to get the discounted price. 

    I'll start with the Christmas version.  The colors are Poppy Parade, White & Shaded Spruce. Isn't the Santa hat adorable?! 

    This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy.  It involves a bit of scoring and trimming. The diagonal square layer is separate from the card base.  The designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright seen here.  I'm featuring it in one of my pre-cut card kits to go this month; click here to see it. 

    The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  It's retiring and discounted. 

    The inside greeting is from the Beary Cute stamp set. I sure love this fold!

    Here is the birthday version using the same Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper seen here.  It's so versatile!
