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!

  • Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper


    I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

    I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.  

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

    It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

    Measurements:

    • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
    • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

    I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.  

    You can see this bundle here online.

  • All of the Little Things kit with an alternate fun fold card idea!


    I had time to stamp some kits last weekend and thought I'd share them with you. I do love our kits!  Such enjoyable and stress free creating! I did it at a crafting day at our church. All I took with me was adhesive, a bone folder, paper snips, and the kit!

    The cards below were made with April's 'All the Little Things' Paper Pumpkin kit.  I made most of them as the kit directed me to. 

    However I changed the greetings so I could use them as thank you cards. Such a gorgeous kit this is!  If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber did you know you are eligible to get the refills when they become available?  The refill kit includes all products in the original kit except the stamp set & ink spot.  But you already own those so it's easy to make more cards. you can get the refill for this kit here. 

    Today, May 10th, is the last day to get in on the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. More information below.


    Each month I create a few alternative ideas and share them with my subscribers and my Team; here's a peak at April's projects. 

    Here's one of the cards I made.  It's a floating panel card!

    Here's a quick example of how to make one.  Score your (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") card twice – at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then add two folded strips of card stock (about 1/2" X 2" each) on that center front fold – both folds meet on that scored line. Add adhesive to the top area and add your top panel to it.  Done!  

    I LOVED making these cards!  If you want to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me, here's a link.  

    Or if you'd rather purchase a subscription you can do that here. 

    Remember that with Paper Pumpkin you are in charge of which kits you receive; pause if you don't like the next kit. But as a subscriber you are eligible to get any of the available refills or add on items.  

    Hint: June's kit will include an add on die-cut option!
