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.

  • Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!

    I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live.  You can watch the video here. 

    The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too.  And it's back in stock too!

    I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects.  Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right  during the Live video.  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!  So many choices!

    Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here.  The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.

    I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate.  That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination.  No more shopping for things that match!

    This card below is probably my favorite of the three.  I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink.  Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree. 

    What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!

    The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree.   The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.

    The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up.  It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front.
